Shot your mouth off like a kid Who's scared to have a heart You're loosing grip of what really matters Cause you don't know where to start You wake up in the morning With a star f*ck for a friend The things you do are so in tune With what you said you hate What's giving you the will to live Is looking for revenge The only laugh that you've got left Is hiding from the pain What must have happened to your soul Is skinnin' you alive The thing that you fear the most is love And that's buried deep inside So deep inside Don't lose your head Cause I can't do the time Don't lose your head If you can't pay the price The heart you're building out of rock Is turning into sand Cause you never took the time to think What it means to be a man You act like you got the answers When the questions never asked I've been to where you're coming from But the postcards weren't so bad The knife I carry's been sharpened On the mouth's that won't keep shut I'll stab at you in the darkness Cause I'm trying to shed some light Your point of view's so meaningless If you ever had one at all All you seem to care about Is who's is gonna take the fall Don't lose your head Now I can't do the time for ya Don't lose your head Can you pay the price Don't lose your head Cause I can't do the time Don't lose your head But can you pay the price Don't lose your head You can't do the time Don't lose your head You can't you pay the price Don't lose your head You can't do the time Don't lose your head I can't do the time
