"Eyes Everywhere" lyrics

Laugh about a scar
But you have never been hit
What has hope ever done
For the ones in the pit?
Hit me hard like a bat
To the back of the head
Rather me one step out
Than one step in

Alright fine
You all asked me what was on my mind
I'm dragging five fucking coffins
With no end in sight
It cost a dream
I've lost my grip
I've lost my goddamn nerve
And now there's parts of this
I won't endure
What fucking purpose does this serve
If it chokes all in the smoke?
Did you think I would just hang myself
And hand you the rope?
Kick the chair
Suffer quiet
Make it easy to take?
I'd hate to be there when you find out
That my neck didn't break
(But if you can't stay
Then it won't make any real change
It's a shame but there's no real difference to you)
Biting hands
Cutting corners
Man this shit is a mess
I guess I didn't shove my nose
Up their ass like the rest
Call it like it is
Don't lie through your teeth
I guess daddy don't like what mama don't need

Go on and change my code
And make me more like you
Laugh about a scar
But you have never been hit
What has hope ever done
For the ones in the pit?
So step into my role
And see what you won't do
Hit me hard like a bat
To the back of the head
Rather me one step out
Than one step in

I'm not done
There's still weight
Pressing on my chest
I'll shovel shit into the tide
But I won't play roulette
I've given it thought
I've given a lot
I've given my youth, blood and mind
Each time after time
After time
So, tell me what's the outcome to a riddle
With a changing answer?
Payola in Crayola
Launching shit nobody asked for
Step back, take a look
It resembles cancer
Maybe there was never any chance
(But if you can't stay
Then it won't make any real change
It's a shame
But there's no real difference to you)
I'll show you now
I'm not dead
Just a little starving
Can't say it's not a bit alarming

Go on and change my code
And make me more like you
Laugh about a scar
But you have never been hit
What has hope ever done
For the ones in the pit?
So step into my role
And see what you won't do
Hit me hard like a bat
To the back of the head
Rather me one step out
Than one step in

If you can't stay
It won't change!
If you can't stay
It won't change you!
You hand me the rope
Expect me to choke!

Go on and change my code
And make me more like you
Laugh about a scar
But you have never been hit
What has hope ever done
For the ones in the pit?
So step into my role
And see what you won't do
Hit me hard like a bat
To the back of the head
Rather me one step out
Than one step in

(One step out
Than one step in!)

You hand me the rope
Expect me to choke!
