Lyrics

Habitual Line-Stepper

We walked the line

Living in a state of mind controlled by a tyrant

Mistakes burn

Never did he learn to back off and spit that shit

I'm that motherfucker picking in your old brain and stealing sleep

Take the dive or keep it alive?

Now it's on you

[Chorus]

Your tower is falling down into a black hole

Take it away

Take it away now

The agony is crumbling over your soul

Take it away

Take it away now

I'd like to take the price of your high and jam it deep down your throat

They're calling for the stage to take your breath away

You were the barricaded man

They're calling for the stage to give everything away

You were the barricaded man

[Chorus]

Your tower is falling down into a black hole

Take it away

Take it away now

The agony is crumbling over your soul

Take it away

Take it away now

Lost in the violent throes of this separation

(Done waiting, done waiting)

(Done waiting, done waiting)

Done waiting on pleasant times

Never arrived

Done waiting on pleasant times

They never arrived

Lost in the violent throes of this separation

Know what you're waiting for?

Watch them burn your home

Felt insane, but it's finally come home to me

My dear brain, hate

Feel hate, let go of all your fear

[Build-Up]

Your tower's falling down into a black hole

You were the barricaded man

Your tower's falling down into a black hole

You were the barricaded man

[Breakdown]

They're calling for the stage to take your breath away

You were the barricaded man

They're calling for the stage to give everything away

You were the barricaded man

[Outro]

(Show us the way), your tower is falling down into the hole

(Show us the way), the agony is pouring over your damned soul

(Show us the way), was there a way to be a better man and stay?

(Show us the way), was there a way? We'll never know

(Show us the way), come on, come on, will you show the way?

(Show us the way), show us the way

(Show us the way), was there a way to be a better man and stay?

(Show us the way), was there a way? We'll never know
