lyrics

You take the highway instead of the interstate
You say it’s safer that way
I thought you were saved
Eternal life, he who rests in him eternal life
But you’re scared to die?

Bury me with my leather bound bible, baby
The one that’s got my name written on the front page

(Well I will bow my head and give my respects
but I will swallow sadness
(And how vain the getaway)

Who will take me to my grave
When God is sick of my mistakes?
They cast me into flames
I did not pray enough to break these chains

I let you raise me on whatever you believed
You took my innocence
I failed to question
The look on your face, the way you always ask me to stay
“You should come to see me”
I thought the same thing

Cornered in the kitchen
Damn right I learned my lesson
Don’t bite the hand that feeds
Get to heaven on your knees

Capitalize on fear
Capitalize on me
