  • Certainty

    So certain every day you have found the perfect way
    To guard the lions from the slaughter you have started
    And thank god you never say what you're never meant to say
    With iron might you drink up all your sorrows

    Fame is the torch you burn
    You decide who shines

    You were lost and I have tried to save
    (You were, you were)
    But something I said has made me the other
    Certain of the price that I should pay
    (You were, you were)
    All of my pride and fear at the altar

    I retrace now, every countdown
    And my mind clicks like heart beats
    Do you want to cut my tongue out?
    Serve it up and silence me

    You're not the answer to the question
    I am not the savior you thought I'd be
    Even still I wonder, do you hear me when you remember that I bleed?

    You were lost and I have tried to save
    (You were, you were)
    But something I said has made me the other
    Certain of the price that I should pay
    (You were, you were)
    All of my pride and fear on the altar

    And now I know that there's something brighter
    I just can't see (let it go)

    You were lost and I have tried to save
    (You were, you were)
    But something I said has made me the other
    Certain of the price you'll never pay
    (You were, you were)
    And all of my pride and fear will take me down Writer/s: Andy Biersack, Jake Pitts
