Sweet and Sour - Counterpunch

When it seems like life has got you on the ropes and on the run

Slow down you don't want to miss a thing

Once again you'll have your back up against the wall

Don't turn around this might be your curtain call

With the same old song and dance

We leave the blind leading dumb

The deaf will lead the mute

To an ideal point of view

While marching on

Drawing closer to the knell

Here's to pushing right back at their call

Before it's too late to tell if we'll disconnect

I'm on borrowed time

And I'm in over my head

I'll swallow my pride

This time I'm fine

Forget the pomp and circumstance

We're bleeding out while moving on

A tiny price to pay for a second chance

To bring them to their knees

We're not breaking rank just yet

Because they might still suspect

We'll stay their course

And we'll take our chances

Before it's too late to tell if we'll disconnect

I'm on borrowed time

And I'm in over my head

I'll swallow my pride

This time I'm fine

After all we've done

This kettle is finally boiling over

I just hope that it goes a little more sweet than sour

With your head in your hands and your heart in the ground

This isn't close to over now that I'm scaring sober

When you think that you can't keep falling down

Wipe the teardrops from your eyes and heed the call

When you can't cauterize the wounds

Even while your back is breaking

Don't let your hands keep shaking

With a head full of steam and your heart filled with guilt

This isn't close to over thank God I'm scaring sober

I'm on borrowed time

The ghosts I've left behind are slowly catching up to me this time

But I'll be fine

I'm in over my head

The currents take me deeper

Slowly disappearing

Desperately choking down the air

I'm on borrowed time

And I'm in over my head

I'll swallow my pride

This time I'm fine

After all we've done

This kettle is finally boiling over

I just hope that it goes a little more sweet than sour
