DEGRADATION

The thing that you fear the most?
Truth

I choose truth
This isn't vengeance
This is for you and your lack of repentance
I choose truth
This isn't revenge
I'll leave you with God and then see how it ends

Silence was a bitter pill
Made you better, made me ill

I bit my tongue, I tasted blood
It's coming up
The degradation of something sacred
The dying wish of a cancer patient

Nice is the chain that they hang you from
Nice is the lie that they did no wrong
Soft is crown where they crush your skull
Soft is the innocence before the cull

I've been branded by blood
I've been baptised in trauma
Obeyed the ones I loved
Just like lamb to slaughter

I bit my tongue, I tasted blood
It's coming up
The degradation of something sacred
The dying wish of a cancer patient

Silence only hurts the abused
Silence only hurts the abused
Silence only hurts the abused
I've picked my side and I choose (I choose) truth
The cure to my terminal anger
I choose truth
The radiation killing this cancer
Are you ready for it?

I bit my tongue, I tasted blood
It's coming up
The degradation of something sacred
The dying wish of a cancer patient

I choose truth
This isn't vengeance
This is for you and your lack of repentance
I choose truth
This isn't revenge
I'll leave you to God and then see how it ends
