[Verse 1]

My guilt and my shame

Always sell me short, always feel the same

And my face and my soul

Always wear me thin, always under control

But the longest hours you'll have in your life

Are the ones you sit through to know if you're right

So I'll wait, but I'll pray that I'm wrong

Because I think I know what's going on

[Verse 2]

So let me get this straight

The only will is my own

I do whatever I want and stay alone

All my decisions make it, untouchable and tainted

I'm gonna suffer for the rest of my life

But I will always find a way to survive

I'm not a failure, but I know what it's like

I can take it or leave it or die

[Chorus]

Stay, you don't always know where you stand

'Til you know that you won't run away

There's something inside me that feels

Like breathing in sulfur

[Verse 3]

My life is undone

And I'm a sinner to most but a sage to some

And my gods are untrue

I'm probably wrong but I'm better than you

And the longest hours I've had in my life

Were the ones I went through to know I was right

So I'm safe but I'm a little outside

I'm gonna laugh when I'm buried alive

[Chorus]

Stay, you don't always know where you stand

'Til you know that you won't run away

There's something inside me that feels

Like breathing in sulfur

[Post-Chorus]

Like breathing in sulfur

Like breathing in sulfur

[Chorus]

Stay, you don't always know where you stand

'Til you know that you won't run away

There's something inside me that feels

Like breathing in sulfur

[Chorus]

Stay, you don't always know where you stand

(You don't always know where you stand)

'Til you know that you won't run away

There's something inside me that feels

(There's something inside me that feels)

Like breathing in sulfur

[Post-Chorus]

Like breathing in sulfur

Like breathing in sulfur

Like breathing in sulfur

Like breathing in sulfur

Like breathing in sulfur
