I tried to throw it away, I tried to burn it like a photograph. But when I close my eyes, I see it in my mind Like it's happening.
I got so good at the game, No one could tell that I was faking sane. I guess I still survived, But this grudge was mine I couldn't bear to watch it shine.
Did it clear conscience? Did it clear your mind? If you don't feel what you cheated, lied and steal Is that dishonesty?
(For every positive, there is a negative)
I used up my honesty I'll tell you honestly I could only give you so much And from what you said to me Now you're dead to me, You're dead to me
I'm sleeping miles away, I'm hiding out in this shrine I made. And if it keeps me safe Well I'd fall from grace Then I'll take this space
My skinny fingers are bare I'm taking everything off my back And if our skins the sin I'm desiring This is where we'll both begin
Did it clear conscience? Did it clear your mind? If you still feel what you cheated, lied and steal Is that integrity? [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/silverstein-with-second-chances-lyrics.html ] I used up my honesty I'll tell you honestly I could only give you so much And from what you said to me Now you're dead to me 'Cause you've used me as your crutch.
Is everywhere that I've seen Everywhere that I've been? I can't help it, it's become a part of me I used up my honesty Now you're dead to me You're dead to me
You lost your dignity And my conformity Made me throw this fight One moment of losing yourself Put me through hell And cost me my whole life
Second chances are weapons A loaded gun underneath the bed Second chances are weapons It's turned on you in the end
I used up my honesty I'll tell you honestly I could only give you so much And from what you said to me Now you're dead to me 'Cause you've used me as your crutch.
It's spinning me like the wind Every decision I'm in Choose my direction like I'm drowning in your sin I used up my honesty Now you're dead to me You're dead to me
(This was my second chance, This was my second chance)
This was my second chance To make it right again This was my second chance To take a stand This was my second chance To never look back This was my second chance To live again
