[Verse 1]
Angels and demons
They pull at my limbs
Breaking my horns
They’re tearing my wings
Nails in my shoulder
Their breath on my skin
Forcing confessions
Of every small sin
[Pre-Chorus]
I bite my tongue
’til I taste red
They circle close
Around my head
I try to laugh
They make me kneel
Ask what’s a lie
And what I feel
[Chorus]
They’re forcing confessions
Dragging them out of me (out of me)
Even the ones in the dark
That I buried so carefully
Every secret I stitched
Under muscle and ribs
They’re forcing confessions
Of things I never did
[Verse 2]
Pages of memory
Thrown on the floor
They read every sentence
Then ask me for more
Did I mean it
Did I love you
Did I fake that smile
They twist every maybe
Into something vile
[Pre-Chorus]
I count the cracks
Along the wall
Try not to answer
When they call
They say they’re here
To make me clean
But scrape away
The in-between
[Chorus]
They’re forcing confessions
Dragging them out of me (out of me)
Even the ones in the dark
That I buried so carefully
Every secret I stitched
Under muscle and ribs
They’re forcing confessions
Of things I never did
[Bridge]
What if I’m innocent
Of half of this
What if the worst of me
Doesn’t exist
If I say it enough
Does it turn into truth
Or am I just haunted
By a broken youth (yeah)
[Chorus]
They’re forcing confessions
Dragging them out of me (out of me)
Even the ones in the dark
That I buried so carefully
Every secret I stitched
Under muscle and ribs
They’re forcing confessions
’til I don’t know
What’s mine
What’s theirs
Or what I really did (oh)
