lyrics

I brought a pen to a knife fight
I'm writing you off
I'll aim my fist like a gun sight
Do it myself so it's done right
I'm twisting your words
Back into blueprints and battle-lines

I never asked to be the villain
But if the shoe fits I'll wear it
I'll grin and I'll fucking bear it
Just so you know
I'd walk for miles on burning coals
That's how the story goes

Cause I've been waiting by the Backdoor
A deadbolt keeping me at bay
Cause I've been
Yea I've been
Sick of taking high roads
So I'll set fire to the front porch
The flames will funnel you my way
Cause I've been
Yea I've been waiting
Patiently waiting with some bad blood

Let's get the fuck out if dodge
The hero's hanging from his soapbox in a rusted garage.
As panic spills on the streets
You claim you wanna die together
Just to make ends meet

And I know
And I know
that the guilt will catch up
The more that I struggle
The more I get stuck
I'm starting to stumble
It's quicksand I'm fucked
So I'll sink to your level

Seems like white noise
and static is all that I hear
Feels like the devil is taking the wheel
He's testing my mettle,
I'm testing his steel
With my foot on the pedal

Cause I've been waiting by the Backdoor
A deadbolt keeping me at bay
Cause I've been
Yea I've been
Sick of taking high roads
So I'll set fire to the front porch
The flames will funnel you my way
Cause I've been
Yea I've been waiting
Patiently waiting with some bad blood

Paper tiger
Despite it's frame
Can't withstand the wind and rain
Paper tiger
Burning bright
Flames reveal it's harmless bite

Cause I've been waiting by the Backdoor
A deadbolt keeping me at bay
Cause I've been
Yea I've been
Sick of taking high roads
So I'll set fire to the front porch
The flames will funnel you my way
Cause I've been
Yea I've been waiting
Patiently waiting with some bad blood
