GLASS KNUCKLES

Discretion is the better part of valor, but I bet it makes you bitter as well
To stand on the sidelines soaking in the sight of your world going straight to Hell
To the untrained eye, it might seem like an apathetic mood
But in truth you're hurt and burdened by the curse of having to pick and choose
So as another injustice rolls in, you've gotta make the call
Will you give your life and fight or do nothing at all?
You've got the muscle to move the world, but you're gonna sit this one out
Because you're far too brittle for more than one battle, so you've gotta make that one count

The path of least resistance leads downhill to sloth and weakness
You'd rather stand and trade fists, but ask yourself, is it worth it?
With those glass knuckles, you will never make it out of the first round
Sometimes the toughest battle is taking the easy way...

Out on your own, you're ready to explode, but you don't care to explain
To those that sling their stones at you and spit right in your face
They chip away at you, yet their fate rests on your shoulders
The world is getting crueler and you're only getting older
So close your eyes and take a breath, look back and try to find
The reasons why you felt your sacrifice was justified
Why would you bother to save a world too proud to ask for help?
The world that loves to point the blame, but won't lift a finger to save itself

The path of least resistance leads downhill to sloth and weakness
You'd rather stand and trade fists, but ask yourself, is it worth it?
With those glass knuckles, you will never make it out of the first round
Sometimes the toughest battle is taking the easy way out

With eyes open wide and patience running dry, you're looking for the cause you think you're worth
But don't you know an ounce of prevention's worth a pound of cure?
You should have acted years ago, now look at the mess you're in
As your good intentions weigh you down, it's time to sink or swim
The end is nigh and now it's time to give your life it's meaning
Clench your fist and take a swing for something you believe in
All the rage and tears you've held inside, well it's time to let 'em out
This is gonna be a struggle, but you should be used to that by now

The path of least resistance leads downhill to sloth and weakness
You'd rather stand and trade fists, but ask yourself, is it worth it?
With those glass knuckles, you will never make it out of the first round
Sometimes the toughest battle is taking the easy way out

Discretion is the better part of valor, but I bet it makes you bitter as well
To stand on the sidelines soaking in the sight of your world going straight to Hell
To the untrained eye, it might seem like an apathetic mood
But in truth you're hurt and burdened by the curse of having to pick and choose
