Seconds Away

Sound the alarm
The fire's been started
Memories have brought it back
The silence in your head
Broken by the blood shed
Many years in the past
We like to think we've got our heads on straight
But when we fall asleep
They fall right back out of place

These thoughts are laced with
Bitterness and grudges, corrupting all your words

Cover your eyes, don't compromise
With all the chaos going
On inside your head
You can't shake it or forget it but
Our final days are seconds away
People say it's like a thief in the night
Everybody's life is on the line

Time as my witness
Shows you should start this
Fire in your own heart first
If caught in a lie with a plank in your eye
The damages could be much worse
With forgiveness withheld from hypocrites
This front was not your best
Now they're killing you for less

These thoughts are laced with
Bitterness and grudges, corrupting all your words

Cover your eyes, don't compromise
With all the chaos going
On inside your head
You can't shake it or forget it but
Our final days are seconds away
People say it's like a thief in the night
Everybody's life is on the line

If a picture's worth a thousand words
Then these moments should fill pages
But we're struggling to say anything

Cover your eyes, don't compromise
With all the chaos going
On inside your head
You can't shake it or forget it but
Our final days are seconds away
People say it's like a thief in the night
Everybody's life is on the line

Your life is on the line
And now they'll kill you for less
'Cause you're a liar at best
