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 on the altar
