Colure - Tether Lyrics

I can't take back the things I've said and I won't even try
It grants you peace of mind
I won't get to see the light though
Always tried to be the good guy now haven't I?
But for every promise I kept you know there's hundreds I broke
Keep catching me by surprise
You never chastise
Look deep in my eyes say you see something I don't
Chalk it up to a good disguise
You say you know me better but no
Trust me when I say I'm a liar
You've confused me for someone of a higher power
Hate it when you look at me like I walk on water
I can't pretend anymore
Heavy is the head you crown with such an honor
I can't pretend anymore
God I'm nothing but a fraud
Put up this front that I can take the crushing weight from your shoulders all on my own
Would you bow before my throne
If you knew that every bone in my body was cracking beneath the pressure
Trust me when I say I'm a liar
You've confused me for someone of a higher power
Hate it when you look at me like I walk on water
I can't pretend anymore
Heavy is the head you crown with such an honor
I can't pretend anymore
I am no superhuman
God is it herculean
Trying to convince you of anything else
Said just keep holding your
Head up for the both of us
Can't be your savior if I can't even save myself
And still I
Look both ways before I answer
Bearing the pain for your pleasure
Keep putting tension on the tether, and even better I
Keep risking my threadbare composure
For the chance to pull you closer
I can't pretend like this forever, forever
Trust me when I say I'm a liar
You've confused me for someone of a higher power
Hate it when you look at me like I walk on water
I can't pretend anymore
Heavy is the head you crown with such an honor
I can't pretend anymore
