lyrics

You can need it like a closing line,
you can shout it liek a pantomine

Beat the horse beat the drum
this ain't over til it's done,
you can wage another war,
you can settle up the score,
keep em comin back for more.
No one cares what you wnt,
no one's taking what you got,
you get lost in the plot.
... you better find a foe.

You can touch it like a silhouette,
you can hear it but it's not there yet.

And it's never gonna come
(climb the walls and fall again)
Bite the bullet, bite your tongue
(strain the blood and find a line)
You're the fist, not the bruise
(every scar is proof we lose)
In this fight, you'll lose.

You can shoot it liek an open sky,
you can wake it like a dream at night.
You can kill it like a ghost, again.
Bite your tongue, don't lie.

You're the echo, not the park
(find the pack and pack it in)
You're the tree and not the park
(nothing here's because of you)
Paint your red hand black
(it's just the past, the past is gone)
Let it dry, again.
