Lyrics

[Intro]
| Dm - - - | -  - - - | C -  -  - | -  - - - |
| Bb - - - | Am - - - | C Dm Gm C | Dm - - - |
| -  - - - |

[Verse 1]
      Dm
Well, touch my mouth and hold my tongue
I'll never be your chosen one
       Bb
I'll be  home, safe and tucked away
Dm              Bb                               Dm
  Well you can't  tempt me if I don't see the day
The pull on my flesh was just too strong
Stifled the choice and the air in my lungs
       Bb                                  Dm
Better not to breathe than to breathe a lie
              Bb                             Dm
'Cause when I open my body I breathe in a lie

[Interlude]
           | Dm - - - | -  - - - | C -  -  - |
| -  - - - | Bb - - - | Am - - - | C Dm Gm C |
| Dm - - - | -  - - - |

[Verse 2]
Dm    Am     Gm  Dm/F Cadd9/E Dm/F Cadd9/E Dm
  And I will not speak        of   your    sins
Dm      Am    Gm  Dm/F Cadd9/E
  There was a way out
Dm/F Cadd9/E Dm
     for     him
Dm    Am     Gm   Dm/F Cadd9/E Dm/F
  The mirror shows
Cadd9/E Dm Dm
        not
         Am     Gm Dm/F Cadd9/E
And your values are
Dm/F Cadd9/E Dm
     all     shot

[Bridge]
    Dm  Am7/D Dm    Am7/D Dm
But oh, my    heart was   flawed
Am7/D Dm      Bb
I     knew my weakness
   Dm   Am7/D Dm
So hold my    hand
Am7/D Dm  Am7/D Dm     Bb
Con__sign me    not to darkness

[Interlude]
                                  | Dm - - - |

[Chorus]
   Dm
So crawl on my belly 'til the sun goes down
I'll never wear your broken crown
       Bb                               Dm
I took the road and I fucked it all away
           Bb
Now in this  twilight,
                            Dm
how dare you speak of grace?
So crawl on my belly 'til the sun goes down
I'll never wear your broken crown
       Bb                               Dm
I took the road and I fucked it all away
           Bb
Now in this  twilight,
                            Dm
how dare you speak of grace?

So crawl on my belly 'til the sun goes down
I'll never wear your broken crown
          Bb                                   Dm
I can take  the road and I can fuck it all away
           Bb
But in this  twilight,
                         Dm
our choices seal our fate
