lyrics

I've let myself and everyone else down
so why don't you drag me to the center of town
hand out a stone to each and everyone
to throw at me as hard as they can

and if they miss, grant them the chance
I never had, to try again
and if they miss, grant them the chance
I threw away, to try again

when the crowd clears and I emerge
no one will recognize me: no friends no family
I won't recognize myself
through a mask of red: red, black and blue

bruises may heal
but scars linger on
the worst is yet to come
mistakes don't come undone

so sick of hiding from myself with my head held low
so put me to the stand and I swear (I'll swear) under oath
and find me guilty 'cuz I know you will
and stone me publicly for the choices that I made

they put me to the stand and I swore under oath
I raised my right hand and I swore under oath

that I'd cut off both hands before I reach for you again
and I'll sever all our ties 'til my bitter fucking end

I'll cut off my hands before I reach for you again
I'll cut off my hands
