Certainty

So certain every day you have found the perfect way
To guard the lions from the slaughter you have started
And thank God you never say what you're never meant to say
With iron might you drink up all your sorrows

Fame is the torch you burn
You decide who shines

You were lost and I have tried to save
But something I said has made me the other
Certain of the price that I should pay
All of my pride and fear at the altar

I retrace now, every countdown
And my mind clicks like heart beats
Do you want to cut my tongue out
Serve it up and silence me?

You're not the answer to the question
I'm not the saviour you thought I'd be
Even still I wonder, do you hear me
When you remember that I bleed?

You were lost and I have tried to save
But something I said has made me the other
Certain of the price that I should pay
All of my pride and fear at the altar

And now I know
That there's something brighter I just can't see
Let it go

You were lost and I have tried to save
But something I said has made me the other
Certain of the price you'll never pay
And all my pride and fear will take me down
