"By The Throat" lyrics

"By The Throat"

Bad blood and no holds barred
A warning shot, a sacrifice that we made

You know, you know, you know, you know that you go too far [x2]

Waste of time or waste of fear?
Do it again, again until you unfocus them away

You know, you know, you know, you know that you go too far [x2]

[Chorus:]
All that's golden is never real
And I won't play fair with you this time
All that's golden is never sold
And I'll be thankful when you let go

You know, you know, you know, you know that you go too far [x2]

With teeth we've come this far
I'll take this thing by the throat and walk away

You know, you know, you know, you know that you go too far [x2]

Remember me as I will you
Honesty will wreck this point that we made

You know, you know, you know, you know that you go too far [x2]

[Chorus]

You know, you know, you know, you know that you go too far [x2]

Taking over parts of mine
That I will pay for every time

You know, you know, you know, you know that you go too far [x2]

If I could catch you and cut your ties
I would leave you, every time

[Chorus]

You know, you know, you know, you know that you go too far [x4]
