He tip toes from rip to break And skips the cracks where he gets sick Counting sheep, losing sleep Now his lids are heavy set Run for it, they're on the prowl These demons never make a sound Cries ignored Well, this cardboard box will keep him dry for now
Why do I give in when I know it's not the only answer? What a way to save my skin, my angst is growing like a cancer And know the things we'll say when they're standing in our way Maybe soon this all will be a distant memory
There might as well be blood stains on this carpet floor He's laying face down wondering what fighting back is for Don't even give them a chance to knock you down Don't even give them a chance to knock you down And I'll be singin' when I turn around, "La la la la la la, la la la la la"
Why do I give in when I know it's not the only answer? What a way to save my skin, my angst is growing like a cancer And know the things we'll say when they're standing in our way Maybe soon this all will be a distant memory
Wars waged on life We wave it in defeat Take down the lights Soldier, on your feet I march head strong to shout aloud That now, now, now I'm free
Why do I give in when I know it's not the only answer? What a way to save my skin, my angst is growing like a cancer And know the things we'll say when they're standing in our way Maybe soon this all will be a distant memory La la la la la la, la la la la la la la Don't even give them a chance to knock you down Don't even give them a chance to knock you down And I'll be singin' when I turn around, "La la la la la la, la la la la la la la"
