Every word you swallow you're closer to god
Any room you hollow you're less of a fraud
Your mouth and your money are moving in step
Silenced and muddied, no flow, just the ebb
It's hard to imagine it's not over yet
You learn to get used to it Bernadette
The elders would gasp at your sacrifice
You'd demure and respond, you "wouldn't think twice"
A victim of bloodlines full with turned cheeks
It's hard to imagine it's not over yet
You learn to get used to it Bernadette
It's not for me and
I can't give it back
I refuse to believe
It all fades to black
A lump in my throat
I'm sure I deserve
Sure I've got questions
But never had the nerve
Every word held back settles in your bones
Would things have been different could you have known
You've only held back what could've helped you
Now they're trails, broken hearts fall around you
It's hard to imagine it's not over yet
You learn to get used to it Bernadette
