Stalemate - Stone Sour

If I fail, if I fall

If I can’t be free, then I never was at all

The more I fight I stay the same

Where do I go and what do I do?

I’ll never know if I never get through

The more I fight I stay, the same

God, I love excuses

Nothing better than a homemade lie

New rules and old confusion

The ones you just despise

Out of my way, out of my reach

How do you dream if you still can’t sleep?

My mind is a terrible gift

And I’d rather be numb than feel this way

Come home when the metal is broken

Another thief doesn’t honor a thing

Time flies when the moment is golden

And I won’t leave this clean

If I fail, if I fall

If I can’t be free, then I never was at all

The more I fight I stay the same

Where do I go and what do I do?

I’ll never know if I never get through

The more I fight I stay, the same

Half my time in one protection

This is better than a beggar’s stand

New shoes and old directions

The epithet of man

Killing my name, killing my past

Nothing’s left when nothing lasts

My life is a terrible waste

And I’m going down fast

If I fail, if I fall

If I can’t be free, then I never was at all

The more I fight I stay the same

Where do I go and what do I do?

I’ll never know if I never get through

The more I fight I stay, the same

Oh don’t be so distracted

I can tell you where the story ends

New sins and old abuses

And no one wins again

This is my chance, this is my curse

We all know it’ll only get worse

My hell is a terrible case

But I’ll give you all hell first

If I fail, if I fall

If I can’t be free, then I never was at all

The more I fight, I stay the same

If I’m still, if I stall

If I can’t be heard, I will never even call

The more I fight, I stay the same

Where do I go, and what do I do?

The very thought scares the hell out of you

The more I fight, I stay the same

If I fail, if I fall

If I know if I care at all

The more I fight, I stay the same
