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
