Asleep on the Frontlines

We'll keep on talking this out
 But I've already made up your mind
 I've been trying to gnaw through my tongue
 To stop from confessing my crimes
 And this conversation is wearing me down
 What did my patience prove
 If it's just another bed of nails
 Always the silent treatment
 Always the easy way of live
 If there's no further questions
 I'll be on my way back home.
 And it's just another sharp pain
 And it doesn't hurt like it used to
 When I was a desperate man
 When I still believed in the meaning of the word
 You tried to warn me
 You and your consequences
 If I am outnumbered
 If I am left defenseless
 If I come here unarmed
 In the middle of the night on my own
 Standing on the front lines
 I will die
 If you invite me down
 If it'll please the crowd
 And I only go through this for your amusement
 But it doesn't hurt like it should
 When you're throwing your stones around (throwing your stones around)
 Now I'm alone (I am so alone)
 Trying to sleep it off
 (But it's hard not to shake at the sound of it breaking)
 When you're living in a house of mirrors
 Reflecting all of my failure
 I will concede to my replacement
 Congratulations
 It's over and over and over again (x2)
 I was in for the long run
 When you cut me down
 Another sharp pain
 A servant to your throne
 It's over and over and over again
 Always the silent treatment
 Always the stubborn child
 I kept my mouth shut tight (x2)
 Always the one that got away
 Always the silent treatment
 I only have myself to blame
 I was apologizing
 Always the silent treatment
 Always the bed of nails
 I only have myself to blame (x2)
