Certainty

So certain every day

You have found the perfect way

To guard the lions from the slaughter you have started

And thank god you never say

What you're never meant to say

With iron, might you drink up all your sorrows?

Fame is the torch you burn

You decide who shines

You were lost and I have tried to save (You were, you were)

But something I said has made me the other

Certain of the price that I should pay (You were, you were)

All of my pride and fear at the altar

I retrace now, every countdown

And my mind clicks like heartbeats

Do you want to cut my tongue out

Serve it up and silence me?

You're not the answer to the question

I'm not the saviour you thought I'd be

Even still, I wonder, do you hear me

When you remember that I bleed?

You were lost and I have tried to save (You were, you were)

But something I said has made me the other

Certain of the price that I should pay (You were, you were)

All of my pride and fear at the altar

And now I know

That's there's something brighter I just can't see

Let it go

You were lost and I have tried to save (You were, you were)

But something I said has made me the other

Certain of the price you'll never pay (You were, you were)

And all my pride and fear will take me

Down
