lyrics

I've grown sick of myself
in so many ways
until she came to me in the shape of redemption
if it's redemption you need
she said to me
then sit back and relax and let me take control
standing before me
the devil herself
with loathing and love
in body and soul
her beauty and smile
misleading at best
she spoke intentions of evil
under her breath

she said I've had many men
and it ended the same
but nothing could prepare me for that kind of pain

I had my hands tied together in the back of my car
as she drive a hundred miles an hour down to the river
she dragged me to the water and held me under
until I failed to breathe any longer

lifeless and still
with weights on my feet
could be days maybe weeks if not months till they find me
playing the victim
she cried for my safe return
but she knows I ain't coming back
she knows where I lay
yeah she knows I ain't coming back
she knows where I lay

I had my hands tied together in the back of my car
as she drive a hundred miles an hour down to the river
she dragged me to the water and held me under
until I failed to breathe any longer
