reluctance

[verse] the line goes out - but i aimed the other way cant face the fuckin music got no shame left I can pay don't want to try - because I just cant take the pain once you see the world razed you'll never be the same go back to sleep - leave the fear buried down deep clawing at the vines but there's only rotten fruit to reap another scalp - but the blood was on my face I walked right into danger but the gamble had no grace [prechorus] buried the gold truth i never told getting old fortune favors the bold [chorus whispered] didn't run - no tale to bail myself out took a look - which promises do you think i should doubt? you and I have something no one else can see unspoken whisper - ripped apart for all to see [verse] the siren sings - but I can't just block it out she pulls me oh so softly and erases all the doubt push her away - there's no way I'm going there each rung of aspiration just a dagger of dispair found me again - but I slip right out the door I know I can't keep runnin' cause she'll just come back for more no place to hide - really never gave me any say I'm jumpin off the edge why did you look the other way? [prechorus] buried the gold truth i never told getting old fortune favors the bold [chorus whispered] didn't run - no tale to bail myself out took a look - which promises do you think i should doubt? you and I have something no one else can see unspoken whisper - ripped apart for all to see [bridge: harmonized] razor blade to canvas precious dreams to sadness walked another way just couldn't obey years of longing dreaming no time for believing would do it all again I won't even pretend the splinter in the skin just a symptom of what's within corruption deep within can't even fail if i don't begin [prechorus] buried the gold truth i never told getting old fortune favors the bold [piano solo] [chorus whispered] didn't run - no tale to bail myself out took a look - which promises do you think i should doubt? you and I have something no one else can see unspoken whisper - ripped apart for all to see [outro] don't dig it up don't pull it up don't rip me up get the hell away don't dig it up don't pull it up don't rip me up get the hell away don't dig it up don't pull it up don't rip me up get the hell away don't dig it up don't pull it up don't rip me up get the hell away
