Held out for the one that stung
Branded and sticking around
I never tried to stay among
Some like playing the clown
As you swallow till your belly's round
You forgot to chew
It's a taste so wrong, you play along
You forget to choose
So what are you running from?
You're not getting away
Fear and cowardice
Here and now
And they made it
So what do you tell yourself?
It's hard to explain
Fear and cowardice
Here and now
And it's mayday
Wild man spun some words that stuck
Branded and sticking around
At the altar of the mighty book
You wonder what's keeping you down
As you swallow till your belly's round
You forget to chew
And it feels so wrong, you play along
You know you get to choose
So what are you running from?
You're not getting away
Fear and cowardice
Here and now
And they made it
So what do you tell yourself?
It's hard to explain
Fear and cowardice
Here and now
And it's mayday
So what are you running from?
You're not getting away
Fear and cowardice
Here and now
And they made it
So what do you tell yourself?
If you don't understand
Fear and cowardice
Here and now
And it's mayday
So what are you running from?
You're not getting away
Fear and cowardice
Here and now
And they made it
So what do you tell yourself?
It's hard to explain
Fear and cowardice
Here and now
And it's mayday
