Stone Sour - Stalemate Lyrics

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/ 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

But 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

Don't be so distracted I can tell you where the story ends
New sins and old abuses 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
