Everything's moving backwards   It's been that way for so long   When all my cries like butterflies   Drift slowly away, I can't relate to no one      Sifting through all my so called friends   Ain't what I like to do   But give or take my wreckage past   Dies slowly away and now the battle's begun      Black promises, black promises   Face down in a hole, I'm sinkin' below   Till I face myself, I'm letting go   So on with the show till I face myself      Never mind all the pity, I rattle on   All the snakes I knew, I chewed the bone   Got criticized and hid all the pain   Beneath it all I still face the same face      Black promises, black promises   Face down in a hole, I'm sinkin' below   Till I face myself, I'm letting go   So on with the show till I face myself      Black promises, black promises   Face down in a hole, I'm sinkin' below   Till I face myself, I'm letting go   So on with the show till I face myself
