  • My guilt and my shame
    Always sell me short, always feel the same
    And my face and my soul
    Always wear me thin, always under control

    But the longest hours you'll have in your life
    Are the ones you sit through to know if you're right
    So I'll wait but I pray that I'm wrong
    Because I think I know what's going on

    So let me get this straight
    The only will is my own
    I do whatever I want and stay alone
    All my decisions make it untouchable and tainted

    I'm gonna suffer for the rest of my life
    But I will always find a way to survive
    I'm not a failure but I know what it's like
    I can take it or leave it or die

    Stay, you don't always know where you stand
    'Til you know that you won't run away
    There's something inside me that feels
    Like breathing in sulfur

    My life is undone
    And I'm a sinner to most but a sage to some
    And my Gods are untrue
    I'm probably wrong but I'm better than you

    And the longest hours I've had in my life
    Were the ones I went through to know I was right
    So I'm safe, but I'm a little outside
    I'm gonna laugh when I'm buried alive

    Stay, you don't always know where you stand
    'Til you know that you won't run away
    There's something inside me that feels
    Like breathing in sulfur

    Like breathing in sulfur

    Like breathing in sulfur

    Stay, you don't always know where you stand
    'Til you know that you won't run away
    There's something inside me that feels
    Like breathing in sulfur, like breathing in sulfur

    Stay, you don't always know where you stand
    (You don't always know where you stand)
    'Til you know that you won't run away
    There's something inside me that feels
    (There's something inside me that feels)
    Like breathing in sulfur

    Like breathing in sulfur

    Like breathing in sulfur

    Like breathing in sulfur
