THIS CURSE - From the Darkest of Places Lyrics

I'm fucking broke
I've waited my whole life
But will I be repaid for everything I've sacrificed
And from the battle we fought for too long
It's clear that you and me were probably wrong

You think you're royalty
I'll walk you to the place you rot
The scars, they always bleed
Trying to be something you're not
Cause once they taste that
They'll all be back for more

Head down, fist clenched, I see red
But the crack's in your foundation
Swallowing your pride is only a means to an end
When you're living so close to the edge

False alarms and followers do grave harm

And I saw what I'd be
If you took over me
I watched you lie through your teeth

I'm fucking broke
I should have never fucking spoke
We're all surrounded by those who state their purpose like a joke
I don't get the joy that you get from simple words of hope

Head down, fist clenched, I see red
But the crack's in your foundation
Swallowing your pride is only a means to an end
When you're living so close to the edge

And I saw what I'd be
If you took over me
I watched you lie through your teeth

I won't hold on to you
I won't hold on to you
I won't hold on to you
I won't hold on to you
Because you drag me through hell
Because you drag me through hell
I'll leave this rope tied for you

Head down, fist clenched, I see red
But the crack's in your foundation
Swallowing your pride is only a means to an end
When you're living so close to the edge

Head down, fist clenched, I see red
