I was climbing, now I'm falling

I've been pushed off by a man

Who has made it to the top

And now defends it 'cause he can

And I have found a breach in his front line



I was open, now I'm hidden

From the danger of his words

I have found a good position

And I'll play for what he's worth, and he will find

Nowhere left to hide



I will lift her love and I'll break your spirit

I will dig a hole and I'll throw you in it

Only time will tell if we're all just cynics on the run

If we're all just cynics come undone



I was losing, now we're drawing

I'm not afraid to draw my blood

I'm not backing down

So I'd surrender 'cause you should

And face the truth

You raise the flag, I'll tear it down

Though you may have won the battle



But I'll take the fight to you

And your flag is on the ground

And your bones they rattle too

'Cause I'll break you

Your fear has now come true



I will lift her love and I'll break your spirit

I will dig a hole and I'll throw you in it

Only time will tell if we're all just cynics on the run

If we're all just cynics come undone

All just waiting for the gun

We are tied to the truth

The tie that binds me to you

I'm acting on my words

With all that I have heard

With honesty in mind

You will find

That I'm not the liar

See the truth in my eyes

No, I'm not the liar

See the truth in my eyes



I will lift her love and I'll break your spirit

I will dig a hole and I'll throw you in it

Only time will tell if we're all just cynics on the run



I will lift her love and I'll break your spirit

I will dig a hole and I'll throw you in it

Only time will tell if we're all just cynics on the run

if we're all just cynics come undone
