Traitor To Myself Lyrics

I hold a sword to my chest
Waiting for it to rip in
Sometimes the things we want
We keep ourselves from reaching

I was crowned a king, yet I play the fool
I hear the whispers and they know it too
Can't turn my back for fear of a knife
But the only betrayal is the one in my mind

I hold a sword to my chest
Waiting for it to rip in
Sometimes the things we want
We keep ourselves from reaching

Right through the heart, oh, right through the heart
You say to trust nobody else
I am a traitor to myself
Right through the heart, oh, right through the heart
They say to trust nobody else
I am a traitor to myself

I was set to fail, and so I do
Every mistake gets replayed on loop
I can’t decipher the truth from the trick
When I spend every second sabotaging it

I hold a sword to my chest
Waiting for it to rip in
Sometimes the things we want
We keep ourselves from reaching

Right through the heart, oh, right through the heart
You say to trust nobody else
I am a traitor to myself
Right through the heart, oh, right through the heart
They say to trust nobody else
I am a traitor to myself

There’s no triumph no reward for
Pulling yourself back into the war
There’s no victor no gold crown for
Digging yourself a hole in the ground
You lose battles that haven’t begun
In your head, they’ve already won
You hold the power, but cannot choose
Your heart and fear rule over you

I hold a sword to my chest
Waiting for it to rip in
Sometimes the things we want
We keep ourselves from reaching
I hold a sword to my chest
Waiting for it to rip in
Sometimes the things we want
We keep ourselves from reaching

Right through the heart, oh, right through the heart
You say to trust nobody else
I am a traitor to myself
Right through the heart, oh, right through the heart
They say to trust nobody else
I am a traitor to myself
