Sermon sung me slow to sleep 
Faster if I had a choice 
With every breath another death 
Still so in love with your own voice 
Idle threats to hide regrets 
Excuses serve to bide the time 
Cover tracks, double back 
We summon silence so divine 

Greeted with a thundering 
absence of applause 

Choke on your own words 
Lies are venom in your veins 
Burn from the inside 
And never speak my name 
 [bad word]  gag reflex 
Trigger happy redundancy 
No thrill, no chase, no saving grace 
Hypnotic in monotony 

Loaded with a salt rock shot 
You say you're everything you're not 
What might have been is all you've got 
From here and now you're dead to me 

Greeted with a thunderous 
absence of applause 

Choke on your own words 
Lies are venom in your veins 
Burn from the inside 
And never speak my name 

Nothing will ever erase 
Or undo your disgrace 
lonely self-embrace 
They've long forgotten you 
Still cling to what it was 
lost and hopeless cause 
Forever mourning your loss 
They've long forgotten you 

Murdered slowly in minute 
increments of time  [bad word] up a rope 
Another moment passes by 

Choke on your own words 
Lies are venom in your veins 
Burn from the inside 
And never speak my name
