lyrics

you've sold it all (even your hair)
you can't quit, but you won't win
you've got a thousand mile stare
and you can see beyond the wind
the candy corn was pretty
there are no seeds without some sin
and you think no one ever gets you so you give them everything

when is fighting "fighting", and when is it just dumb
what is the difference between letting go and giving up
and what if no one's listening to anything you've done
if you beat your head against the wall, how long 'til it's not fun

you work three jobs, you walk the line
you can't quit 'cause you need the cash
some for life and some for love
and some to make a name that lasts
your exodus was brilliant
put down on sealing wax with strings
and you think everyone should get you so you give them everything

when is fighting "fighting", and when is it just dumb
what is the difference between letting go and giving up
and what if no one's listening to anything you've done
if you beat your head against the wall, how long 'til it's not fun

i've been watching and waiting and i can't figure it out
i have so much to say but instead i shut my mouth
i've been waiting and i've been wanting can you help me kill this thing
if you give me money, i will sell my pain. i swear i'll give you everything.

when is fighting "fighting", and when is it just dumb
what is the difference between letting go and giving up
and what if no one's listening to anything i've done
if you beat your head against the wall, how long 'til it's not fun
