You watched her die

You washed your hands

The guilt I know you felt

It stains, it stands

Shrouded in collapse

The world falls silent when she speaks

One last plea (One last plea)

Beg for mercy

My mind stays rooted in the past

Froze that still shot of your smile

When her line went flat

I took the money that you'd spend

On the girls for a thrill

Bought a diamond ring

To keep on mom's side of the bed

Call me a cancer

You left your love dying in the dust

(Dying in the, dying in the dust)

Don't call

You know I wouldn't answer

I can't bare to hear you call me your son

In the midst of it all

In the thick of it all

Did you ever think that some things were sacred?

When you took off that ring

When you slid off her dress

Did you ever miss the way that she loved you?

I can picture the house

I can still see the scene

You'd tuck me in and say

"I'll see you tomorrow"

With a calm in your eyes

With a peace to the place

You'd turn around and whisper

"Honey, I love you"

Find deliverance

(Find deliverance)

Close the curtain one last time

What's the point in anything?

What's the point in anything?

When all of love is a fucking lie

Call me a cancer

You left your love dying in the dust

(Dying in the, dying in the dust)

Don't call

You know I wouldn't answer

I can't bare to hear you call me your son anymore

Don't call

Don't call

Let the bullet speak

Let her spirit ring

Don't call

Don't call

Let repentance speak

Let her body bleed
