You borrow the moment, betray your own heavens
The darkness is thickening, breathing gets harder
The balance is off, some take more than give back,
The attitude, ignorance, proved to be fatal
For that tiny spark that led our way
You poisoned the air, should you stay away, hence
Wish to be one of us, follow the trail
Take the time offered, don't toss it away
Travesty, no trial, defendant is guilty
And we are the judges and sentence the jury
To pay for forgiveness with silent contentment
Stand in the line with the rest of us
We cannot carry you further today
Hear what you don't say, thus help, in any way
Need you to learn how to cry without darkness
Face like the others the pain that is harmless
Feel the world has let you down
Somehow, we cannot see this
Have to bear the winter burn
You can only wait, if it will fade with time
Secrecy, silence, a stench of treason
The glow of the darkness, you brought in the daylight
The cure will not kill you, there's no such mercy.
Rules of the nature are fair and cruel
We cannot wait for you, for limbo, forever
Don't make us walk away, packs stay together
Fear would be justified. Will be there soon.
The things that you do will infect us too
Feel the world has let you down
Somehow, we cannot see this
Have to bear the winter burn
You can only wait, if it will fade with time
Where's your trust, where's your heart, where's your soul?
Who's your friend? Who'll be there in the end?
Who do you call a friend
Should we start to bewail?
A lot of things are changing
And re-arranging
I have to say I saw it coming
Yet did nothing
In the darkest of times
B.o.B's earn the right for the name
Not all shared the idea to give you the chance to
Fail us again, to bite off
The feeding hand
Counting one, two, see?
Odds defying the gravity
We'll move along, well fed puppy
You are too confident and careless to cut it
Had no rules, that is to change
Or you'll forever run alone
But you never will, the little child of the wild
You've got a skin, grey coat, they hate
No, you cannot hide behind your glowing eyes
You bear the sign and it won't fade
Feel the world has let you down
Somehow, we cannot see this
Have to bear the winter burn
You can only wait if it will fade with time
