Do what you can, kid

Tricks up your sleeve, hid

Rid of your prejudice and never close your eye-lids

They don’t let us dream, so we won’t let them sleep

This isn’t going to be another silent bid.

Blood red shoes matching blood red hearts

Ticking all at once with those unread thought

Of a hundred darts aiming for the sky

Remember when they told you you’d never die?

And if bright lights burn as much as night

We might just have enough to make this right

Worst comes worst, this will never die

We’ve got everything against us except time

I don’t want to know things I will never see

With my own eyes like the ropes on the trees

Like the god in the skies or the devil in me

No I don’t want to know things I will never see

And I don’t want to hear about places that I’ll never go

Seen through the screen things will never show

Real as we know they can be

No I don’t want to know things I will never see

I’m telling you this frame of mind

Can really get me down sometimes

If there’s a point of no return

It’s been long since we passed it…Fuck that

Things will change you say

But step by step, not day by day

You cash your checks I guess I’ll pay my way

I’ll play my odds against you any day…not every day

Empires built on pride, hide.

Tugging at the strings of a rust-worn ride

Fear is finally changing sides

We’ve got everything against us…
