Everything We Take - This Is a Standoff

It takes forever while we’re landing, it takes forever taking off

We can’t stop from falling, we can’t allow ourselves to stay

Freeze dried, tongue tied.

Why can’t we ever figure out?

No way, too late.

They dish out everything we take

It takes forever smelling roses, it takes even longer pulling thorns

Scraped from the pavement, we can’t allow ourselves to stay

All you can do is stand up and turn the other way

Push back get smacked.

They dish out everything we take

Swine don’t think before they crush you

Maiming destroying everything

Everything… don’t take more than you give never mind all those feelings

Everyone… push up is all you’ll do

Never mind all those ceilings, kicking us when we’re down

All you can do is stand up and turn the other way

Push back get smacked.

They dish out everything we take

Swine, don’t think before they crush you

Maiming destroying everything
