The Butcher in Me

So can you tell me why

The butcher in me wants to cut you from my life?

Gonna sever all ties gotta keep on running

You're kind to pretend

That you ever cared enough to think what happens in the end

Pills fall to the floor

In and out of shame you navigate the blame to others

It's all the same again

I left you drowning in the shallow end

You fooled me one time but never again (Yo)

So can you tell me why

The butcher in me wants to cut you from my life? (I cut you out)

And sever all ties to a friend like you

Speaks tomy skeptic side

Uncovered untruths leave me rotting out inside (I'm rotting out)

Gonna sever all ties gotta keep on running

Keep on running

But it was never enough for you

And your compulsion to bend the truth

As years gone by I still ask why

Were you ever my brother? I know

I know you're in a hurry

I'll save you the time

Talk is cheaper than your empty pockets

Your words mean nothing

Save your breath I'm done

I left you drowning in the shallow end

You fooled me one time but never again

And I'll get by with the stench of you lies

One last time (Yo)

So can you tell me why

The butcher in me wants to cut you from my life? (I cut you out)

And sever all ties to a friend like you

Speaks to my skeptic side

Uncovered untruths leave me rotting out inside (I'm rotting out)

Gonna sever all ties gotta keep on running

I know under the surface you bleed the same

As me you feel the pain

And though we had our problems I need to wish you well

But it's better for me if I never see your face again

So can you tell me why

The butcher in me wants to cut you from my life (Yeah, yeah, woah, woah)

And sever all ties to a friend like you

Speaks to my skeptic side

Uncovered untruths leave me rotting out inside (I'm rotting out)

Gonna sever all ties gotta keep on running
