Sleeping Pulse - Gagging Order lyrics

You'd tape my mouth My lips you'd nail My tongue ripped out To hide your shame Hold tight and breathe, don't suffocate You'll soon have me on your page Sewn up til my own dying day Paid off with my own rightful gain How did you think I would stand for this? It all shows a lack of intelligence Is daddy on the ropes with his mind again? Did he tell you in the end I tore strips from him? Or did he keep that from you like your family said To never look weak in the eyes of them It's funny how he tried to play businessman When he's just another oaf laying eggs in the brick trade No you can't gag me and I'm not afraid All bets now raise to meet my stakes Hold tight and breathe no you're not safe My tongue stays free to taste your stain All those prayers in the dark, must've thought you were saved Get to bury your past, stop the soil being raked Choke reality's sting from the scorpions' tail No more panic at night as you're lying awake... Lying awake But listen... We're not playthings, and time won't erase this. You can't redact it, I'll keep my faith Your guilty past will keep biting at your heels No time to sit still, keep running away
