Lyrics

You watched my lips make

You observed me speaking

The promise I betrayed

The commitment I failed to uphold

The years I lived in vain

The years I spent without purpose

Chasing the pain with pain

Pursuing relief through self-inflicted suffering


Stand down

Retreat or withdraw

There's oil in my name

There is value associated with my name

My tongue flickers like a wilting flame

My speech is uncertain and feeble


Lay it all out

Reveal everything

The path of wreckage that I cut

The destructive path I carved

All in want of what?

All for the sake of what?

Who were you to believe?

Who were you to trust?

Your lying eyes or me?

Should one believe your deceptive eyes or me?

I won't let them tie to you

I won't allow them to connect you to

The shit I put you through

The difficulties I caused you


Stand down

Retreat or withdraw

Stand down

There's oil in my name

My tongue flickers like a wilting flame

My speech is uncertain and feeble


Lay it all out

Reveal everything

The path of wreckage that I cut

The destructive path I carved

All in want of what?

All for the sake of what?
