By the time you saw the open
gate and the cobra by the door
You were half way hauled to holy ghosts
the poison of the lord
In a trance you’d find him sleeping
in the hallway pretty drunk
How you wanted him to feel the way
you felt during the war
Now an insect in your boot
so you negotiate your price
With a wager made in fractions
so you take another slice
Oh you could feel
the breath before you
one thousand angry eyes
There’s a reason that
you’re standing here
a reason in the fight
Every time I try
to run away from you
I find another ransom
hiding in the scope
I don’t want to believe it
So every time you try
to hang your empty rope
Another casual cost
of trying to stay afloat
You don’t want to believe it
It starts when you stop
And it stops when you start
To believe that the lost
cause is more than it’s costing ya
It starts when you stop
And it stops when you start
To believe that the lost
cause is more than it’s costing ya

So the moral of the story
are the blind leading the blind
An eraser put to history
A deletion in the files
What about all you’ve been teaching
What a laundry list of fires
What a sneaky misdirection
What a complicated lie
Every time I try to run away from you
I find another ransom
hiding in the scope
I don’t want to believe it
So every time you try
to hang your empty rope
Another casual cost of
trying to stay afloat
You don’t want to believe it
It starts when you stop
And it stops when you start
to believe that the lost
cause is more than it’s costing ya
It starts when you stop
And it stops when you start
to believe that the lost
cause is more than it’s costing ya

Every time I try
to run away from you
I find another ransom
hiding in the scope
I don’t want to believe it
So every time you try
to hang your empty rope
Another casual cost
of trying to stay afloat
You don’t want to believe it
It starts when you stop
And it stops when you start
To believe that the lost
cause is more than it’s costing ya
It starts when you stop
And it stops when you start
To believe that the lost
cause is more than it’s costing ya
