The Tell-Tale Heart
You can tell me, it's okay
Was it easy to betray
All the people that would have
Given their blood to save you
Through the worst life could bestow
We were always on your side
Little did we all know that
You would leave us all behind
Were you drinking the snake oil
Did we just find out too much
Was someone whispering
Misguidance in your naïve ears
And the markings on your arms
Simply artificial scars
Did you draw them all on with
Ashes from where we were burned
You killed us all
But we all know
Your spirit's secret
We follow you home
You can't escape
Our hearts will grow
Your deepest secrets
Will follow you home
I know someday you will see
What has now become of me
When you finally pull your
Head out of the fucking sand
All the triumphs we had shared
All for nothing in the end
But you made room so you could
Invite your imaginary friend
We were brothers
You and I
Help me please understand why
You abandoned all of us
For a self-righteous lie
I won't accept apologies
Fuck you and your whole clergy
You only seek forgiveness
To fucking save yourself
You killed us all
But we all know
Your spirit's secret
We follow you home
You can't escape
Our hearts will grow
Your deepest secrets
Will follow you home
We're under your floorboards
We follow you
You killed us all
But we all know
Your spirit's secret
We follow you home
You can't escape
Our hearts will grow
Your deepest secrets
Will follow you home
So tell yourself
You're not alone
Your spirit's secret
We follow you home
You can't escape
Our hearts will grow
Your deepest secrets
Will follow you home
You killed us all
But we all know
We're under your floorboards
You can't escape
Our hearts will grow
Your deepest secrets
Will follow you home
Was it easy to betray
All the people that would have
Given their blood to save you
Through the worst life could bestow
We were always on your side
Little did we all know that
You would leave us all behind
Were you drinking the snake oil
Did we just find out too much
Was someone whispering
Misguidance in your naïve ears
And the markings on your arms
Simply artificial scars
Did you draw them all on with
Ashes from where we were burned
You killed us all
But we all know

We follow you home
You can't escape
Our hearts will grow
Your deepest secrets

So tell yourself

Your spirit's secret
We follow you home
You can't escape
Our hearts will grow
Your deepest secrets
Will follow you home
You killed us all
But we all know
We're under your floorboards
You can't escape
Our hearts will grow
Your deepest secrets
Will follow you home
