Silverstein - With Second Chances lyrics

I tried to throw it away
I tried to burn it like a photograph
But when I close my eyes, I see it in my mind
Like it's happening
I got so good at the game
No one could tell that I was faking sick
(faking sick) i guess I still survived
But this cross was mine
I couldn't bear to watch it shine

Did it clear your conscience?
Did it clear your mind?
If you don't feel when you
Cheat and lie and steal
Is that still dishonesty?
For every positive, there is a negative

I used up my honesty i'll tell you honestly
I could only give you so much
And from what you've said to me
Now you're dead to me you're dead to me

I'm sleeping miles away
I'm hiding out in this shrine I made
And if it keeps me safe
While I fall from grace
Then I'll take this space
My skinny fingers are bare
I've taken everything off my back
(off my back)
And if her skin's the sin I'm desiring
This is where we'll both begin

Did it clear your conscience?
Did it clear your mind?
If you still feel when you
Cheat and lie and steal
Is that still integrity?

I used up my honesty i'll tell you honestly
I could only give you so much
And from what you've said to me
Now you're dead to me
'Cause you've used me as your crutch
It's everywhere that I've seen
Everywhere that I've been
I can't help that it's become a part of me
I used up my honesty now you're dead to me
You're dead to me

You lost your dignity and my conformity
Made me throw this fight
One moment of losing yourself
Put me through hell it cost me my whole life
Second chances are weapons
A loaded gun underneath the bed
Second chances are weapons
It's turned on you in the end

I used up my honesty i'll tell you honestly
I could only give you so much
And from what you've said to me
Now you're dead to me
'Cause you've used me as your crutch
It's spinning me like the wind
Every decision I'm in
Drifts my direction like I'm
Drowning in your sin i used up my honesty
Now you're dead to me you're dead to me

(This was my second chance
This was my second chance)
This was my second chance
To make it right again
This was my second chance to take a stand
This was my second chance to never look back
This was my second chance to live again
