Lyrics

Forced to the wall
The crosshairs shift from this tied down burden: courage
What did you expect?
A nightmare of reason and faith alike
Because you take shots, my back's turned, you're gutless
You think you're saving face
But I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what

As far as you're concerned the next breath that you take should be underwater
You're worthless. you've been told once before
This time you're gonna get back a little more than you paid for

Forced to the wall the record skips and this satellite sense is detecting
You run for cover. a nightmare, a vision, a quota, a reason
You take shots, my back's turned, you're gutless
You think you're saving face but first things first
This is a matter of egos and how every single shot you take
Is taken in weakness and vain
Place your bets, it's a matter of context

You said it, you mean it, you want it, you've got it
I've been waiting far too long for this
You take shots, my back's turned, you're gutless, and you've got no spine at all
I've been waiting, I've been waiting for..
Take your shot, and be on your way, and be on your

Spill fiction while my back is turned, when you've got an easy target
Build stregth, and your heart is gone
You tell my back that you're more courageous
We've got our souls held in this dark hotel room
You're taking chances for the worst and the worst is yet to come

Place your bets, it's a matter of…
You said it, you mean it, you want it, you've got it
I've been waiting far too long for…
You take shots, my backs turnd, your gutless
And you've got no spine at all
I've been waiting, I've been waiting for..

Show a litte backbone
In this hole we've dug, you're never crawling out alive
You won't make it too far, you won't get too far
In this home we've made, you're never welcome again
You wont make it too far, you wont get to far, to far
Place your bets son, pay your ransom
Place your bets son, pay your ransom

You don't know what it is to regret
You don't know what it is to regret
You don't know what it is to regret
You don't know what it is..
You don't know what it is to regret
You don't know what it is to regret
You don't know what it is to regret
You don't know..
