Play the fence, one way you're gonna fall Sometimes I don't know who you are at all Your opinion is something that you've got inside But I see the loyalty has up and died Your skeletons My skeletons Life is only getting shorter You can be my enemy and I don't care Keep throwin' stones at yourself Stories run in circles that have no end I hit on luck, then you bum me out again There's a way that you keep the truth in check Scratch the surface and treat it like a broken neck Keep the peace when face to face with the scene Got a hunch that ain't what you really mean Weather's fair, does that change where you stand ? My back is turned and the knife is in your hand Your genocide My genocide Like is only getting shorter You can be my enemy and I don't care Keep throwin' stones at yourself You can be my enemy and I don't care You try too hard and I can tell
