ApostleOne - Scapegoat

Well I can understand how a witch could be forgiven
I can understand how the dead could make a living
I can't understand why your candles are always black

I can understand all the roads I've driven
I can comprehend all the dragons I've ridden
I can't understand why you had to attack
When you should've had my back, so

I became the scapegoat
At the end of your rope
Punchline to your big joke
Prisoner to the pain that you invoke

Banished from the family farm, an escape goat
So I jumped ship, now I'm on an escape boat
Threw me under the bus, on my blood choked
Hanged me from the family tree, broke
Broken down, I broke down and you walked away

Every time that I fall down
I pick myself up off the ground
Cause every time I needed you
I was just noise to your perfect sound

All the pride I swallowed for you
Left me hollow when I reached for you
To the slaughter I was led to
Or did I follow

A blackhole sun or a white dust moon
My heart's a whale, your head's a harpoon
Hold me in your bossom where I once belonged
Before I became the scapegoat

I became the scapegoat
I became the scapegoat
I became the scapegoat of this song
