You pulled the strings while we wore the chains
Painted the walls to conceal the stains
Fed us comfort while you planted doubt
Told us freedom’s what kept us bound

Words like venom, cloaked in grace
Dragged us deep through your dark embrace
Now I see the mask you wore
Trust was the key that just locked the door

I thought the pain would fade away
But every word you spoke, they made me stay
I built my world around the lies you gave
Now I am the only one who’s left to say

Do you think for a second I would save you?
Do you think for a second I would save you?
For a second I would save you

Poison dressed in lullabies
Drank the lie
Sweet enough to keep us blind

(Sweet enough to keep us blind)

I thought the pain would fade away
But every word you spoke, they made me stay
I built my world around the lies you gave
Now I am the only one who’s left to say

Do you think for a second I would save you?
Do you think for a second I would save you?
For a second I would save you
