Billy Talent
The Crutch
[Verse 1]
I should have turned and walked away
But I got tangled in your chains
A trail of debt for all to see
You shut the cage and stole the key

[Pre-Chorus]
Your state of mind revealed
That my love for you was real
They say in time wounds heal
But I've got nothing left to steal

[Chorus]
My mouth is shut, my lips are sealed
You are the crutch of this disease
And I've been locked in your machine
Sit here and rot or break this deal

[Verse 2]
I spilled my blood on the checkered floor
You’ve got me crawling back for more
You set the trap, I’ll take the bait
A bed of nails I can’t escape

[Pre-Chorus]
Your state of mind revealed
That my love for you was real
They say in time wounds heal
But I've got nothing left to steal
[Chorus]
My mouth is shut, my lips are sealed
You are the crutch of this disease
And I've been locked in your machine
Sit here and rot or break this deal

[Verse 3]
Now it's so dark that I can't see
The mental scars you left on me
So dig your nails and grind your teeth
I'm in your clutch for eternity

[Verse 4]
Yeah, I know it's hard for you to see
The mental scars you left on me
So dig your nails and grind your teeth
I'm in your clutch for eternity

[Chorus](2x)
My mouth is shut, my lips are sealed
You are the crutch of this disease
And I've been locked in your machine
Sit here and rot or break this deal
