Touch my mouth
And hold my tongue
I'll never be your chosen one
I'll be home, safely tucked away
Well you can't tempt me if I don't see the day

The pull on my flesh was just too strong
It stifled the choice and the air in my lungs
Better not to breathe than to breathe a lie
'Cause when I open my body, I breathe a lie

I will not speak of your sin
There was a way out for him
The mirror shows not
Your values are all shot

But oh, my heart was flawed
I knew my weakness
So hold my hand
Consign me not to darkness

So crawl on my belly 'til the sun goes down
I'll never wear your broken crown
I took the road and I fucked it all the way
Now in this twilight, how dare you speak of grace

So crawl on my belly 'til the sun goes down
I'll never wear your broken crown
I took the road and I fucked it all the way
Now in this twilight, how dare you speak of grace

So crawl on my belly 'til the sun goes down
I'll never wear your broken crown
I can take the road and I can fuck it all the way
But in this twilight, our choices seal our fate

    My Interpretation

    It's a debate between two people, who were in a relationship, ended it for whatever reason, and the song is being done from the point of view of the person who is being asked to get back with the other person. The author is saying "I don't care if you're the last person on Earth, I'll never get back with you, and how dare you talk about forgiveness after what you did to me (the person being addressed must have done something bad)!"
