Peep this see this rootless tree seedless
Stressed out at best, pressure on his chest
Life crumblin' at his feet trying to find a way
Defeat after defeat stumbling day to day
To get out his home never really his say
Where he stays not the same as yesterday
Now pray, the steeple only help some people
But losin' your faith's easy when you ain't peaceful

This time's not yours to waste

All is evil, deceitful embrace the illegal
Paint the town red the blacktop's an easel
Suicidal tendencies because he ain't equal
Never saved relied on a body bag retrieval

This time's not yours to waste

We've got no time, gotta save today
No more heroes, they're all on display
We got no choice, we can't run away
We gotta stand our ground, 'cuz we're here to stay

The clock ticks and ticks, the calendar is a hit list
No witness, passing with the quickness
Past the age gap, it gets hard to not quit
You might not fit, so it's stop or get hit
We can't sit on the fact that
Every day we last is a pass to the next one
A dash to the outcome, monotnous, it's not fun
Knowing that in a flash you could be done

This time's not yours to waste

All is evil, deceitful embrace the illegal
Paint the town red the blacktop's an easel
Suicidal tendencies because he ain't equal
Never saved relied on a body bag retrieval

This time's not yours to waste

We've got no time, gotta save today
No more heroes, they're all on display
We got no choice, we can't run away
We gotta stand our ground, 'cuz we're here to stay

He could tell more lies to get more money
Or be somebody's bitch, a ventriloquist's dummy
You laugh about it now, but it's less and less funny
Every day he's slowly decaying to nothing but a mummy
If you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything
Yearning for death's kiss while the caged bird sings
This is for the children
This is for the victims
This is for the fucked up world that we live in

We've got no time, gotta save today
No more heroes, they're all on display
We got no choice, we can't run away
We gotta stand our ground, 'cuz we're here to stay
