"Traitor To Myself" lyrics
I hold a sword to my chest
Waiting for it to rip in
Sometimes the things we want
We keep ourselves from reaching
I was crowned a king, yet I play the fool
I hear the whispers and they know it too
Can't turn my back for fear of a knife
But the only betrayal is the one in my mind
I hold a sword to my chest
Waiting for it to rip in
Sometimes the things we want
We keep ourselves from reaching
Right through the heart
Oh right through the heart
They say to trust nobody else
I am a traitor to myself
Right through the heart
Oh right through the heart
They say to trust nobody else
I am a traitor to myself
I was set to fail, and so I do
Every mistake gets replayed on loop
I can't decipher the truth from the trick
When I spend every second sabotaging it
I hold a sword to my chest
Waiting for it to rip in
Sometimes the things we want
We keep ourselves from reaching
Right through the heart
Oh right through the heart
They say to trust nobody else
I am a traitor to myself
Right through the heart
Oh right through the heart
They say to trust nobody else
I am a traitor to myself
There's no triumph, no reward for
Pulling yourself back into the war
There's no victor, no gold crown for
Digging yourself a hole in the ground
You lose battles
That haven't begun
In your head they've already won
You hold the power
But cannot choose
Your heart and fear rule over you
I hold a sword to my chest
Waiting for it to rip in
Sometimes the things we want
We keep ourselves from reaching
I hold a sword to my chest
Waiting for it to rip in
Sometimes the things we want
We keep ourselves from reaching
Right through the heart
Oh right through the heart
They say to trust nobody else
I am a traitor to myself
Right through the heart
Oh right through the heart
They say to trust nobody else
I am a traitor to myself
Waiting for it to rip in
Sometimes the things we want
We keep ourselves from reaching
I was crowned a king, yet I play the fool
I hear the whispers and they know it too
Can't turn my back for fear of a knife
But the only betrayal is the one in my mind
I hold a sword to my chest
Waiting for it to rip in
Sometimes the things we want
We keep ourselves from reaching
Right through the heart
Oh right through the heart
They say to trust nobody else
I am a traitor to myself
Right through the heart
Oh right through the heart
They say to trust nobody else
I am a traitor to myself
I was set to fail, and so I do
Every mistake gets replayed on loop
I can't decipher the truth from the trick
When I spend every second sabotaging it
I hold a sword to my chest
Waiting for it to rip in
Sometimes the things we want
We keep ourselves from reaching
Right through the heart
Oh right through the heart
They say to trust nobody else
I am a traitor to myself
Right through the heart
Oh right through the heart
They say to trust nobody else
I am a traitor to myself
There's no triumph, no reward for
Pulling yourself back into the war
There's no victor, no gold crown for
Digging yourself a hole in the ground
You lose battles
That haven't begun
In your head they've already won
You hold the power
But cannot choose
Your heart and fear rule over you
I hold a sword to my chest
Waiting for it to rip in
Sometimes the things we want
We keep ourselves from reaching
I hold a sword to my chest
Waiting for it to rip in
Sometimes the things we want
We keep ourselves from reaching
Right through the heart
Oh right through the heart
They say to trust nobody else
I am a traitor to myself
Right through the heart
Oh right through the heart
They say to trust nobody else
I am a traitor to myself
