You’d cave under pressure
Wade in the dust
Are you the aggressor?
Why do you fight to be right?
Can’t sleep with eyes closed, they’ve come for blood
Cut them, they’re multiplying, they walk among us
When mercy’s weakness, if God will judge
Just make it painless, keep looking up
‘Cause I’m pleading my own defense
I made the same mistakes again
You hang it over my head
Can you tell me, what do you want with me?
When nothing’s enough for you
The signs read as fiction
The crooks took a side
Do you bear witness?
Or will you hide from the light?
‘Cause I’m pleading my own defense
I made the same mistakes again
You hang it over my head
Can you tell me, what do you want with me?
When nothing’s enough for you
I’ve seen the end over in my head
Testing me with insanity’s grip
‘Cause the truth
Will bury you
What do you want?
When nothing’s enough
‘Cause I’m pleading my own defense
I made the same mistakes again
You hang it over my head
Can you tell me, what do you want with me?
When nothing’s enough for you
When nothing’s enough for you
