lyrics

I'm at a loss for words now
Enunciate all hours fleeting
False impressions reconciling
and all these faces demonizing

Lets do it all again now
Vicious cycles never ending
This parasitic disenchantment
Growing tired of compromising

Put Down
Struck to the ground

And this is what we have worked so hard for?
These conversations lead us on and on
To resolutions out of reach now gone
Moving faster. Gracefully onward

She's the deer in headlights, now
The only one whose running out
Put Down, Struck to the ground
fatally wounded crying…

I’ve been put down
Struck to the ground

Without warning
Black and blue, marks its territory
Bleeding hearts failing
Infrared, all incriminating

And Without warning
Black and blue, paralyzing me.
Heartbeat ceasing
Infrared, all disclosed.

Look. Out. Right behind you.
Blink. Shout. It’ll all be over soon.

Take a glimpse at all your world has been.
Remarkable how mundane turns reverent.
Quick. Jump. One last chance my dear.
Put. Down. ‘tween the asphalt and air.
Flip a switch and all your fears have changed.
Transformed from what they used to say.

Finally found my tongue, how?
Enunciate all pulse now fleeting
False impression all deciding
one mere driver demonizing

Without warning
Black and blue, marks its territory
Bleeding hearts failing
Infrared, all incriminating

And Without warning
Black and blue, paralyzing me.
Heartbeat ceasing
Infrared, all disclosing...
