Obvious and True

Shifting gears with no commotion There's primates in space with such devotion The object is simple It's whether you win or lose The timing was off It's not just what they said When your playing with fire and your on the mend You cannot fight what you cannot see Conflicting points of imagery With the words that bind us to the games that we must play And it seems like they take more with every single day If it's fire that your chasing with an everlasting thirst When mercury is at its peak how could Hell be any worse With the words that bind us to the games that we must play And it seems like they take more with every single day If it's fire that your chasing with an everlasting thirst When mercury is at its peak how could Hell be any worse Here's a thought, lost in motion The wheel is moving but the axle is broken When your high on fire, for miles to see And your shedding the skin of complacency The lights are on, but are you home Or are you chasing the carrot at the end of the rope Shoots and ladders, as if it all matters If the former seems to fail then you'll still have the latter If you boil it down, by all accounts It's better to take a stance and hold some ground There's not much more that one could say Just roll the dice and come what may With the words that bind us to the games that we must play And it seems like they take more with every single day If it's fire that your chasing with an everlasting thirst When mercury is at its peak how could Hell be any worse With the words that bind us to the games that we must play And it seems like they take more with every single day If it's fire that your chasing with an everlasting thirst When mercury is at its peak how could Hell be any worse Any worse
