Hanging on from a rope, it's both my savior and my noose
Call it what you want as long as you don't call it a truce
Can't escape my hatred even when it's long past due
If I cannot love myself, how the fuck can I care about you?

We've lost ground control

We gave away our lives for pain
Washed away our tears with the rain
And I can't find the words to say
Just a war-dog that became a stray
And I can't hold on
My death's at dawn
Cut the head off the snake
And leave the soul to take

Empty words and missing time has taught me to survive
You tell me to walk the line but I would rather die

We've lost ground control

We gave away our lives for pain
Washed away our tears with the rain
And I can't find the words to say
Just a war-dog that became a stray
And I can't hold on
My death's at dawn
Cut the head off the snake
And leave the soul to take
