I’m still stitching up the stabs you left,
Weaving in and out slowly.
I grow accustomed to the piercing flesh,
And find evil in the holy.
And still, I see the line 
Between the stars, your scars, and mine.
And as this coarse thread pulls, 
I feel the veins of the frozen.

Stay [bad word] - 
It’s the only defense we have left.
Stay [bad word] -  
It’s the only defense we have left.

bad decision leaves me open and 
I’m left here shuttered for days.
If I could replay the words we said, 
I’d see you all amazed.
And still it’s not enough – 
Save yourself and demonize us.
And as your curtain draws, 
They see the tears of the fallen.

Stay [bad word] -  
It’s the only defense we have left.
Stay [bad word] - 
It’s the only defense we have left.
Stay [bad word] -  
It’s the only defense we have left.
Stay [bad word]  
It’s the only defense we have left.
We have left...

I’m not taking the fall for a spineless puppet.
You play quiet, 
And I won’t fight it.

Stay [bad word] -  
It’s the only defense we have left.
Stay [bad word] - 
It’s the only defense we have left.
Stay [bad word] - 
It’s the only defense we have left.

Stay [bad word] -
It’s the only defense we have left.
We have left...
