Stalemate lyrics

If I fail, if I fall...

If I can't be free, then I never was at all

The more I fight, I stay the same...

Where do I go, and what do I do?

I'll never know if I never get through

The more I fight, I stay... THE SAME!

God, I love excuses

Nothing better than a homemade lie

New rules and old confusion

The ones you just despise

Out of my way, out of my reach

How do you dream if you still can't sleep?

My mind is a terrible gift

And I'd rather be numb than feel this way

Come home with the medal is broken

Another fake doesn't matter a thing

Time flies when the moment is golden

I wont leave this clean

If I fail, if I fall...

If I can't be free, then I never was at all

The more I fight, I stay the same...

Where do I go, and what do I do?

I'll never know if I never get through

The more I fight, I stay the same...

Half my time I want protection

This is better than a bigger stand

New shoes and old directions

The epithet of man

Killing my name, killing my past

Nothing's left when nothing lasts

My life is a terrible waste

And I'm going down fast

But if I fail, if I fall...

If I can't be free, then I never was at all

The more I fight, I stay the same...

Where do I go, and what do I do?

I'll never know if I never get through

The more I fight, I stay the same...

[Solo]

Oh, don't be so distracted

I can tell you where the story ends...

New sins and old abuses

And no one wins again...

This is my chance, this is my curse

We all know it'll only get worse

My hell is a terrible case

But I'll give you all hell first!

If I fail, if I fall...

If I can't be free, then I never was at all

The more I fight, I stay the same...

If I still, if I stall

If I can't be heard, I will never even call

The more I fight, I stay the same

Where do I go, and what do I do?

The very thought scares the hell out of you

The more I fight, I stay the same...

If I fail, if I fall...

If I know if I care at all

The more I fight, I stay the same...
