my story to tell

Did it satisfy your mouth When you whispered all my secrets All the witless minds were feasting On my forbidden messages

You patched the broken grout But the story still collapses I bring desolation— My words betray my actions

Have you ever tasted my tongue It's all twisted, cold, deceitful I shed this skin and leave behind A ghost of someone I once was

That was my story to tell You stole the ending from the pages Every wrong turn that I've made Becomes your borrowed cages

Have you ever tasted my tongue It's all twisted, cold, deceitful I shed this skin and leave behind A ghost of someone I once was

Is your life rotting away Or did you need mine for the taking You drink the ink that stains my hands But the truth is always breaking

Have you ever tasted my tongue It's all twisted, cold, deceitful I shed this skin and leave behind A ghost of someone I once was

Have you ever tasted my tongue It's all twisted, cold, deceitful I shed this skin and leave behind A ghost of someone I once was

That was my story to tell That was my story to tell
