I Can't Be the Only One

Have you felt it brother? The shadows we kept out of the light wrap around my spine
Have you heard it sister? The whisper we knew for all of our lives grow silent in the night
Is there anywhere to go
If I burn down my only home
Is there anyone I know
Who would lay down their stone

Because when the bell tolls
I can't be the only one
And when heads roll
Mine won't be the only one
I can't be the only one to leave

Welcome back to the bottom, come say hello to your friends did you think that they'd forgotten
All of the things that you said you'd never become
Come have a seat by the fire, let the flames warm your bones let the smoke take you higher
So you can forget all the terrible things that you've done

But now there's nowhere you can go
Since you've burned down your only home
There's no one that you know
Who hasn't already cast their stone

Because when the bell tolls
I can't be the only one
And when heads roll
Mine won't be the only one
No, I can be the only one who sees
The writing on the wall for what it actually means

It's on the tip of my tongue, every word that I owed you stuck right behind my teeth
I could say that I'm sorry but it's getting much harder to breathe in, breathe out
Now there's no longer any doubt that I'm done
But I cannot be the only one.

Because when the bell tolls
I can't be the only one
And when Hell grows
I can't be the only one
I can't be the only one to go
Just open up a door and you will never know
