The Swellers

What's At Stake

The Swellers


False alarm, 
theres no sympathy for time cut short 
The mind is numb to the feelings 
hooked on life support 
To sustain this dead world 
Brain alive with faulty wires 
that run their eyes 

Lost in hotels 
with Bibles under TV guides 
Kill them all and hope 
things get much better 
Were all addicts 
looking for the next fix 

Why do we always stare 
into the headlights? 
We can only burn the witch one time 
Were falling like power lines 
Its too late to start over 

Burned alive, but one 
at a times not fast enough 
Adrenaline pumps 
from the silent screams 
they hear from up above 
Kill them all 
And let God make more killers 
Its entertainment 
for the massive empty graves 

Why do we always stare 
into the headlights? 
We can only burn 
the witch one time 
Were falling like power lines 
Its too late to start over 

Sanding wide eyed, 
they get chills 
Waiting for the next one 
To burn down 

Whats at stake is more 
than just the martyr 
Its us all 
Even as heat rises, 
well watch some smoke fall 

What if the departed hoped 
to be something 
while you were pointing fingers 
like a gun? 
Is it so hard to see 
both sides of this? 
Your answer is not the only one 
You are not the only one
