Halcyon Way - Inversion lyrics

If the roles were reversed* Could you take a walk in my shoes? They're resting on eggshells And I've got so much to lose If I gave voice to those terms When I conveyed my mind Or I said what I was thinking I'd be destroyed or ostracized [Pre-Chorus:] Fear of offense Fear of ruin Fear of violence Fear of the end [Chorus:] Turn the tables on me Turn the tables on you Everyone's inside out Change the rules of the game Play the game, level the blame Inversion of all you know Inversion of all you know An olive branch held our for appeasement Taken along with our hand A gun to the head of logic Reason already shot out back An elegant source of irony The poetry of the newly damned Dropping the lamp at the golden door Undermining all for which we stand [Pre-Chorus, Chorus x2]
