Death threats and guarded borders
Bedpans and doctors orders
Move on and leave the weak behind
Back stabs and painted on smiles
It's easier to die admired
From here there is no turning back
Fall out of focus
Arguments fend where you leave them
(What's it take to be satisfied?)
You battle your progress
Arguments fend for themselves
(And no one else)
I've been shot down too many times
I guess I blame myself
For targets I can't defend
Punishment will never fit the crime
Well should I go ahead with this
If I could go ahead at all
I'd be more confident
If you'd admit you're wrong
Fall out of focus (Do I need to chalk your lines?)
Arguments end where you leave them (Victims precede the crime)
(You're blaming yourself next time)
(We'll take turns to cover the tracks that we leave behind)
You battle your progress (You use me to waste your time)
Arguments fend for themselves (Your grudges carry themselves just fine)
Regrets, I take yours if you'll take mine!
A fair trade for lightning bolts, landmines and genocide

Unplug the phone
I need it quiet
All you have left
Is all you've held on to
Don't care anymore
No reason to fight
(I'll scream with) my last breath
I'm all
I'm all
I'm alright (Unplug the phone)
I'm alright (I need it quiet)
I'm alright (All you have left)
I'm alright (Is all you lay next to)
"We're all here waiting, where should we go?"
White boy start your own KKK
You look like you're good for nothing anyway
Just like your parents before you
And just like your faceless neighborhood
I know that I'm the one
I feel just like Chaka Khan
If it's not for me
It can't be right for anyone
I blame the cynics and the sun
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
