lyrics

A fraction of your time is spend
Waiting in a line that never ends
Open all the boxes
And close up all the shops inside your head
Your focus is out of
And your lame excuse for leaving starts a trend
Amazing what a maze we've made
And you wonder how the truth can get so lost
You're afraid to live in fear
You're afraid to recall what you forgot

And I leave you for dead
It's better if you bled
It's better if you meant what you said
So I leave you for dead

A troubled situation breads a troubled inclination to sit and watch
From those on the outside
From those who swore to God they'd stand and fight
For goodness gracious
For goodness sake is that all you've got

And I leave you for dead
It's better if you bled
It's better if you meant what you said
So I leave you for dead
