[Verse 1] I've got a sharp stick I keep in my pocket I speak volumes, never utter a word When you strike a match, a fire will happen But the line between the smoke and the flames get blurred [Pre-Chorus] Don't you see the writin' on the wall? (The writin' on the wall) You're in way over your head You're gonna drown in the things that you said [Chorus] Time has come and gone for words A thousand threats I've heard before But words are cheap But lies are big to take Time has come and gone for words A thousand threats I've heard before And all your words are to debate today [Verse 2] It's a paradox, a mystery, a riddle A door in your face and only I have the key Do understand, you'll be caught in the middle Caught in a web by being spun by me [Pre-Chorus] Don't you see the writin' on the the wall? (The writin' on the wall) Just a victim of your own conceit The architect of your own defeat [Chorus] Time has come and gone for words A thousand threats I've heard before But words are cheap But lies are big to take Time has come and gone for words A thousand threats I've heard before And all your words are to debate today [Bridge - Original Dialogue] (Music and crowd noise swell, then drop to a simmering hum) (Spoken, with a calm, deliberate intensity over the music) You talk about being perfect. You talk about living right. But you stand there... in all your straight-edge glory... and you tell these people how to live. You tell them their fun is wrong. That their freedom is a weakness. Let me tell you something. I've never done a single thing in my life... just to be popular. I did them because I felt them. Every high, every low... it's all real. It's me. And if everybody in this world... was just like you? What a boring world it would be. This isn't about discipline. This is about fear. You're afraid of the fall. Afraid of the feeling. Afraid of being human. I'm not afraid of the dark... I paint it. I'm not afraid of pain... it fuels me. So bring your rules. Bring your sermons. Out here, in this ring... there are no more words. (Music explodes back in) [Guitar Solo] [Chorus - Repeated x3] Time has come and gone for words A thousand threats I've heard before But words are cheap But lies are big to take Time has come and gone for words A thousand threats I've heard before And all your words are to debate today
