Telephone

Who's the charlatan
The devil or god
Stuck on hold
On a two way call
You clipped my wings
Your name I swear
When I needed you
You were never there

Hello, Hello
No answer broken telephone

Eye for an eye
Tooth for a tooth
Didn't tell a lie
Still doesn't feel like truth
Designed to hurt
Masquerading as healing
Never gets better
But I still keep kneeling

You said to bow, show restraint
Hail to Mary, bury a saint
White noise from archaic men
Echo words that condescend
They strike a chord around my neck
Pages stitched with a bayonet
Scar in my head in the shape of a cross
Your sacrifice just tastes like rust

Hello, Hello
No answer broken telephone

You said to bow, show restraint
Hail to Mary, bury a saint
White noise from archaic men
Echo words that condescend
They strike a chord around my neck
Pages stitched with a bayonet
Scar in my head in the shape of a cross
Your sacrifice just tastes like rust

Hello, Hello
No answer broken telephone
