Forced to the wall, the crosshairs shift from this tied down burden; Courage.
What did you expect?
A nightmare of reason and faith alike because you take shots,
my back`s turned, you`re gutless.
You think you`re saving face but i`ll tell you what...
As far as you`re concerned , the next breath that you take
should be underwater.
You`re worthless.
You`ve been told once before,
This time you`re gonna get back a little more than you paid for.
Forced to the wall, the record skips and this satellite sense is detecting...
You run for cover.
A nightmare, A vision. A quota, A reason.
You take shots, my back`s turned, you`re gutless.
You think you`re saving face but first things first,
this is a matter of egos and how every single shot you take is taken in weakness and vain.
Place your bets, it`s a matter of context.
You said it, you mean it, you want it, you`ve got it.
I`ve been waiting far too long for this.
You take shots, my back`s turned.
You`re gutless and you`ve got no spine at all.
I`ve been waiting.
Take your shot, and be on your way.
Spill fiction when my back is turned,
when you`ve got an easy target.
Build strength, and your heart is gone.
You tell my back that you`re more courageous.
We`ve got our souls held in this dark hotel room.
You`re taking chances for the worst and the worst is yet to come.
Place your bets its a matter of......
You said it, you mean it, you want it, you`ve got it.
I`ve been waiting far too long for this.
You take shots, my back`s turned.
You`re gutless and you`ve got no spine at all.
I`ve been waiting....
Show a little backbone.
In this hole we`ve dug, you`re never crawling out alive.
You won`t make it too far. You won`t get too far.
In this home we`ve made, you`re never welcome again.
You won`t make it too far.
Place your bets son; Pay your ransom.
You don`t know what it is to regret.
