Lyrics
Oh the tension is rising
Seeping up through the floor like floodwater
Your words are like poison
Tracing a route through my veins
We face an explosion
A countdown to detonation
You can't control it
You believe that you're right
But you are not righteous
Separate from all of the lies
The truth is at a premium
It's not about choosing from sides
That mindset is delirium
In case you didn't notice
I'm not the only one
To be a broken record
The words stick on my tongue
And all I ever wanted
Was for you to understand
But
With your hands around my throat
The words you spit hit home
Nothing is more persuasive
Than a threat like "I'll break your bones"
Like cold fingers fear creeps down my back
But I curl my hand into a fist
I understand people just like you
Cowards who just bully and taunt
To stroke an ego you later will flaunt
I won't take it any longer
It's my turn to show you what's right and what's wrong
It's my turn to help you to move along
Into a wing of accident and emergency
Your mouth will swell and close and swallow
Any hateful words you might say
Don't you fucking dare tell me what to do
No matter what lies you've taught yourself to be true
Its more than closure
It's more than just me and you
I'll bury the knife into the heart of any love I have for you
Do you now understand what it's like to be the victim?
Yet still you think that you are right
Believe that you're right
But you are not righteous
Separate from all of the lies
(I won't be fed your lies)
The truth is at a premium
It's not about choosing from sides
(You only have one)
That mindset is delirium
With my hands around you throat
