|
You're the breath in us too |
|
You're the test of what's true |
|
You're the one that stops them |
|
You become the problem |
|
It's just a different side |
|
Of the many walls in your mind |
|
The walls with secret panels |
|
Built with knives and hammers |
|
Petrified |
|
By what you've done - and you've just begun |
|
I hope you get your way |
|
But what a price to pay |
|
Petrified |
|
By what you've done - and you've just begun |
|
I hope you get your way |
|
But what a price to pay |
|
You're the pain I go through |
|
To get to where I need to |
|
You're the retribution |
|
A sordid institution |
|
It's just a different way |
|
Of "saving face", as you say |
|
A face that spares no malice |
|
That drinks the poisoned chalice |
|
Petrified |
|
By what you've done - and you've just begun |
|
I hope you get your way |
|
But what a price to pay |
|
Petrified |
|
By what you've done - and you've just begun |
|
I hope you get your way |
|
But what a price to pay |
|
You take the falling rain |
|
You make the sun that dried it |
|
You shoulder all the blame |
|
You've got the strength to hide it |
|
Led emotion to the door |
|
Remind me who you were before |
|
You are the wheels in motion |
|
A wave of self-promotion |
|
You beat a different drum |
|
The rhythm's strong, but no fun |
|
You are the vengeful hand |
|
That tasted sweet, but so bland |
|
You are my one protection |
|
But you try to hard to get them |
|
Petrified |
|
By what you've done - and you've just begun |
|
I hope you get your way |
|
But what a price to pay |
|
Petrified |
|
By what you've done - and you've just begun |
|
I hope you get your way |
|
But what a price to pay |
|
You take the falling rain |
|
You make the sun that dried it |
|
You shoulder all the blame |
|
You've got the strength to hide it |
|
Led emotion to the door |
|
Remind me who you were before |
|

Petrified |
|
By what you've done - and you've just begun |
|
I hope you get your way |
|
But what a price to pay |
|
What a price to pay |
|
What a price to pay |
|
What a price to pay |
