You decorate your armor with gold plated steel
There's no medal of honor, only snakes at your heels
I hear your footsteps in the hallway
Right behind me every night
Well no matter how much I curse you
You're holding on like it's your right
When will I wake up
When will it be safe
I might as well wait for daylight to break
Even though I'm on the fence
We both know how this ends for us
You celebrate your victories, speaking kind with a serpent's tongue
I don't know what you're after
You've kept it hidden for so long
Well as soon as you lift that curtain
Your eyes are fit with a holy rage
They go from green to yellow, mean to mellow
I'm afraid it's too late
When will I wake up
When will it be safe
I might as well wait for daylight to break
Even though I'm on the fence
We both know how this ends
Sometimes life goes by us so fast
I don't want to spend it all
Living down the shadows you cast
When will I wake up
When will it be safe
I might as well wait for daylight to break
Even though I'm on the fence
We both know how this ends
Sometimes life goes by us so fast
I don't want to spend it all
No I don't want to spend it all
Living down the shadows you cast
