[Intro]

It's never gonna leave you now ’cause time will tell

If violence follows you to hell, oh


[Verse 1]

Posture sustains

I undo what the stitches have done

Tell me, has it all been worth the pain?

Why do all the crooks keep calling me home?


[Pre-Chorus]

I open my lungs

Rid all the smoke of what never was

I've become elastic, forced to change

I know all the ire will never stop

If you let it in


[Chorus]

It's never gonna leave you now ’cause time will tell

If violence follows you to hell, oh

And time will tell

Pulling the veil of who you are, oh


[Post-Chorus]

I'll drag you to hell

If time won't tell

I'll find you myself


[Verse 2]

Our bones relate

Amalgamate with the sins in our blood

Why are all the ruins in your wake?

Why were all my heroes forced to stop?


[Pre-Chorus]

I'm flooded with haste

I'm cursing your name to the wind as it was

Why does every loser think they're brave?

I know all the ire will never stop

If you let it in


[Chorus]

It's never gonna leave you now ’cause time will tell

If violence follows you to hell, oh

And time will tell

Pulling the veil of who you are, oh


[Bridge]

Woah

Locked eyes on you

Lay you to waste, ignorance is a plague

All hope is lost on you, you let it in


[Chorus]

It’s never gonna leave you now 'cause time will tell

If violence follows you to hell, oh

And time will tell

Pulling the veil of who you are, oh
