so hold your tongue

but don't hold your breath

cause you might say something

that you will regret

the war you petitioned so hard for

is slowly slipping away

the road you paved is crumbling

an iron fist

a stone heart

screaming the same old song

never (never!)

showing (showing!)

never showing heart!

the road you paved

is slowly slipping away

you only offer defeat

with the words you speak

tear open my chest and see sincerity

I know you are waiting for the day I will break

til my last breath

I'll be the same

til I meet death

I will remain
