Play the fence, one way you're gonna fall Sometimes I don't know who you are at all Your opinion is something that you've got inside But I see the loyalty has up and died Your skeletons My skeletons Life is only getting shorter You can be my enemy and I don't care Keep throwin' stones at yourself Stories run in circles that have no end I hit on luck, then you bum me out again There's a way that you keep the truth in check Scratch the surface and treat it like a broken neck Keep the peace when face to face with the scene Got a hunch that ain't what you really mean Weather's fair, does that change where you stand? My back is turned and the knife is in your hand Your genocide My genocide Life is only getting shorter You can be my enemy and I don't care Keep throwin' stones at yourself You can be my enemy and I don't care You try too hard and I can tell

Life comes and goes, quick as does the day Greed, for those who know is just a step away Time's a breathing bomb, going with the flow Stand atop it all outside the status qou No see, no speak then know where you're goin' Drag your feet then nothing you're showin' Take your face and stand where you're dying (chorus) Living in a hole is taking its toll My iron will's in position Seize you are not owed, stand or fall And refuse to be denied Pride is all in vain without the blood of need Bones can break in shame from taking charity Hide from all the hell and wash up with the tide Wait and you commit psychological suicide Break the molds of beg and submission Wake the dead or no one will listen Holding ground is just the beginning It's uphill bound and in for the killing (repeat chorus)

As a stare into the fire All my thoughts go up in flames Here I stare into the fire I'll be waiting on the rain The box I keep myself in, closes out my air So I build a fire, so I can sit and stare (chorus) Can it be I'm frozen Can it be I'm frozen Can it be I'm frozen Can it be I'm frozen As I stare into the weather My eyes drying from the cold As I stare into the weather I sense my thoughts growing old (repeat chorus) I listen to the prophets predict the stem of tides I stare into the weather that's keeping me inside (repeat chorus) As I stare into the fire Will the prophets change my mind While I stare into the fire All the colors treat me kind I'll dust away the fallings the winter leaves for me I'll stare into the fire and set tomorrow free (repeat chorus)
