LETRA

Stalemate

f I fail, if I fall, if I can’t be free then I never was at all
The more I fight I stay the same
Where do I go and what do I do? I’ll never know if I never get through
The more I fight I stay… the same

God, I love excuses- nothing better than a homemade lie
New rules and old confusion- the ones you just despise
Out of my way, out of my reach- how do you dream if you still can’t sleep?
My mind is a terrible gift and I’d rather be numb than feel this way
Come home when the metal is broken/ another thief doesn’t honor a thing
Time flies when the moment is golden/ I won’t leave this clean…

If I fail, if I fall, if I can’t be free then I never was at all
The more I fight I stay the same
Where do I go and what do I do? I’ll never know if I never get through
The more I fight I stay the same

Half my time in one protection- this is better than a beggar’s stand
New shoes and old directions- the epithet of man
Killing my name, killing my past- nothing’s left when nothing lasts
My life is a terrible waste… and I’m going down fast

But if I fail, if I fall, if I can’t be free then I never was at all
The more I fight I stay the same
Where do I go and what do I do? I’ll never know if I never get through
The more I fight I stay the same

Don’t be so distracted- I can tell you where the story ends
New sins and old abuses- no one wins again
This is my chance- this is my curse- we all know it’ll only get worse
My hell is a terrible case but I’ll give you all hell first…

If I fail, if I fall, if I can’t be free then I never was at all
The more I fight I stay the same
If I’m still, if I stall, if I can’t be heard I will never even call
The more I fight I stay the same
Where do I go and what do I do? The very thought scares the hell out of you
The more I fight I stay the same
If I fail, if I fall, if I know, if I care at all
The more I fight I stay the same
