In the beginning, sirens are ringing
Only hear 'em down the line
Spinning with the sting of the tease and I'm in it
Freed from the company
Gonna take some time 'cause the venom's in

Sick 'cause it's working, bruised and it's hurting
Moved by the brunt of it
Soon it's all over, can't get much lower
Proved by the feel of it
Can't make up the mind when the way is hidden

There's a bullet aimed at you
And there's nothing you can do
It's a power holding you
With a silent aim that's true
Take a step

Out of the crossfire, out of the optical
Into the fire, get clean by the flame
Tripped on the high wire, maybe it's balancing
I'm getting tired of saying the name

Change in the pocket, keys to unlock it
Dreams of a better day
Plugged in the socket, load it and cock it
Toeing a blurring line
Gonna take some time 'cause the venom's in

Slave to the slither, bit and you wither
Broke and you're backing up
Steps that are taken, rules that are breaking
Choked and I'm cracking up
Can't make up the mind when the way is hidden

There's a bullet aimed at you
And there's nothing you can do
It's a power holding you
With a silent aim, that's true
Take a step

Into the unknown, out of the optical
Into the fire, get clean by the flame
Tripped on the high wire, maybe it's balancing
I'm getting tired of saying the name

Into the unknown, out of the optical
Into the fire, get clean by the flame
Tripped on the high wire, maybe it's balancing
I'm getting tired of saying the name
