Cory Croft & the Band of Phantoms - The Tell-Tale Heart Lyrics

You can tell me, it's okay
Was it easy to betray
All the people that would have
Given their blood to save you

Through the worst life could bestow
We were always on your side
Little did we all know that
You would leave us all behind

Were you drinking the snake oil
Did we just find out too much
Was someone whispering
Misguidance in your naïve ears

And the markings on your arms
Simply artificial scars
Did you draw them all on with
Ashes from where we were burned

You killed us all
But we all know
Your spirit's secret
We follow you home
You can't escape
Our hearts will grow
Your deepest secrets
Will follow you home

I know someday you will see
What has now become of me
When you finally pull your
Head out of the fucking sand

All the triumphs we had shared
All for nothing in the end
But you made room so you could
Invite your imaginary friend

We were brothers
You and I
Help me please understand why
You abandoned all of us
For a self-righteous lie

I won't accept apologies
Fuck you and your whole clergy
You only seek forgiveness
To fucking save yourself

You killed us all
But we all know
Your spirit's secret
We follow you home
You can't escape
Our hearts will grow
Your deepest secrets
Will follow you home

We're under your floorboards
We follow you

You killed us all
But we all know
Your spirit's secret
We follow you home
You can't escape
Our hearts will grow
Your deepest secrets
Will follow you home

So tell yourself
You're not alone
Your spirit's secret
We follow you home
You can't escape
Our hearts will grow
Your deepest secrets
Will follow you home

You killed us all
But we all know
We're under your floorboards
You can't escape
Our hearts will grow
Your deepest secrets
Will follow you home
