Broken Promises - Phoenix Effect

You let me in so I could guide your hand

A quest for gold that yielded lead

So many things I still don’t understand

Would rear their ugly heads instead

No instigation, just run away

With nothing to fall back on, no skin left to flay

What you needed the most were no more of these ghosts of my broken promises

What you needed the most never even came close to my broken promises

Sedated sorrow palms a lazy coin

You’ll find no vindication here

Flashing a fast lane if you’ve come to join

The ill fated fortune of the year

Castles we built now crumble like smiles

Skeleton hope now eaten by trials

What you needed the most were no more of these ghosts of my broken promises

What you needed the most never even came close to my broken promises

How you choose to wear your heart

is how they’ll cast your part

How you choose to wear your heart

You wear a world upon your sleeve

The way you choose to wear your heart

is how they will tear you apart

Do you choose to save the world or to decieve
