Stalemate

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 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
