Tell Tail Signs

V5.5

[Verse 1] You talk too much, too fast That mouth move bad Claim you built on trust Then you fold real sad Seen it in your eyes When the pressure came You chose that easy road For a little bit of fame Cold hands, weak spine That’s your whole design Smile in the room Then switch on a dime You don’t wear a crown You wear a lie When the truth come out You the first to hide [Pre-Chorus] Ain’t no pride in that Ain’t no love in that You trade a name for crumbs Then you run it back [Chorus] Coward in the room Coward in the room You fold, then you point Coward in the room Loose lips sink fast Loose lips sink fast Loyalty stays While your word don’t last [Verse 2] People stop your calls Doors stay shut No more borrowed trust No more open cuts Every hand you shake Feels cold to them Every story told Came back in the end You want that easy pass That clean white slate But every broken bond Has a face, has a date Now you walk alone With your tale half-spun No more big bad talk When the damage done [short guitar solo] (Dimebag-style: wide vibrato, slow searing bends, screaming pinch harmonics, whammy bar dives, chaotic lead runs over crushing groove) [Pre-Chorus] Ain’t no pride in that Ain’t no love in that You trade a name for crumbs Then you run it back [Chorus] Coward in the room Coward in the room You fold, then you point Coward in the room Loose lips sink fast Loose lips sink fast Loyalty stays While your word don’t last [extended guitar solo] (Dimebag-style: wide vibrato, slow searing bends, screaming pinch harmonics, whammy bar dives, chaotic lead runs over crushing groove) [Bridge] Let the streets remember What you really are Not a king, not a wolf Just a cracked-up card Truth got a long reach It don’t miss twice You lose your seat at the table When you sell that price [Final Chorus] Coward in the room Coward in the room You fold, then you point Coward in the room Loose lips sink fast Loose lips sink fast Loyalty stays While your word don’t last [song fades with guitar soloing] (Dimebag-style: wide vibrato, slow searing bends, screaming pinch harmonics, whammy bar dives, chaotic lead runs over crushing groove)
