We walked the line Living in a state of mind controlled by a tyrant Mistakes burn Never did he learn to back off and spit that sh** I'm that motherf**er picking in your old brain and stealing sleep Take the dive or keep it alive? Now it's on you Your tower is falling down into a black hole Take it away Take it away now The agony is crumbling over your soul Take it away Take it away now I'd like to take the prize of your high and jam it deep down your throat They're calling for the stage to take their breath away You were the barricading man They're calling for the stage to give everything away You were the barricading man Your tower is falling down into a black hole Take it away Take it away now The agony is crumbling over your soul Take it away Take it away now Lost in the violent throes of this separation Done waiting on pleasant times They never arrived Lost in the violent throes of this separation Know what you're waiting for? Watch as they burn your home I felt insane, but it's finally come home to me... My dear brain, hate Feel hate Let go of all your fear They're calling for the stage to take their breath away You were the barricading man They're calling for the stage to give everything away You were the barricading man Show us the way Your tower is falling down into a hole The agony is pouring over your damned soul Was there a way to be a better man and stay? Was there a way? We'll never know Show us the way Was there a way to be a better man and stay? Was there a way? We'll never know
