Forget about the battles we won so long ago
We're failing on all fronts, we're losing the war
We thought that it was over
Each stark white classroom just taking its turn
Nothing is sacred like a lie
told with a handshake, a wink, and a knife
They hold your breath until
They hold your breath until
They hold your breath until
They hold your breath until
They get what they want
The thinnest line you can see
separates
death and life
Don't be fooled it's all grey between
black and white
They hold your breath until (they get what they want)
They hold your breath until (they get what they want)
They hold your breath until (they get what they want)
They hold your breath until
Well I've got my eyes
and I've got my mind
Yet I sit still
like hell I've tried
Well I've got my eyes
and I've got my mind
Yet I sit still
like hell I've tried
like hell I've tried
They hold your breath until
They hold your breath until
They hold your breath until
They hold your breath until
They get what they want
(they hold your breath until)
They get what they want (they hold your breath until)
They get what they want (they hold your breath until)
They get what they want (they hold your breath until)
