Lyrics:

Play the fence, one way your gonna fall

Sometimes I don't know who you are at all

Your opinion is something that you've got inside

But I see the loyalty has up and died

Your skeletons

My skeletons

Life is only getting shorter

You can be my enemy and I don't care

Keep throwing stones at yourself

Stories run in circles that have no end

I hit on luck, then you bum me out again

There's a way that you keep the truth in check

Scratch the surface and treat it like a broken neck

Keep the peace when face to face with the scene

Got a hunch that ain't what you really mean

Weather's fair, does that change where you stand?

My back is turned and the knife is in your hand

Your genocide

My genocide

Life is only getting shorter

You can be my enemy and I don't care

Keep throwing stones at yourself

You can be my enemy and I don't care

Try too hard and I can tell
