Patricians Come Down - Attention Directly Declared Lyrics

My eyes open, just to see the red
On my collar
Around my neck
I was led so far until they had to try
They knew my pain
Just wasn't worth their time

So I crossed an X
On a face
And whispered to myself they made a huge mistake
I'll fool them once
But not a second time
The last thing that I needs a third charm running on my mind

I'm not singing
Just to brag or sell
But if you got a couple minutes, here's a story to tell
All your friends
About all of mine
And the consequences of a lack of spine
When outside forces
Breaches at the gate
And they all just started hissing like a pack of snakes
So I grabbed what I can before I made an escape
Only to end up in a place where there's a higher stake

The walls are closing in
Watching all the lights begin to dim
I'm rocking back and forth
As I hear them clawing on the door
I can feel the walls closing, and what's on the other side
I
Can't explain the presence I assure you, something isn't right
An aberration, I can tell
It knew me then, it knows me well
The voices scream to let it in
After all, I know it's him
