Cease and Desist

[Verse 1]
The story of you
Undersold living proof
A man truly dies before the grave
The glory and truth overreach black and blue
From the daily demands
I'm a fool

[Pre-Chorus]
Blood red, you said
Everything I had to hear
Conceive, inbred
Pull the skin back and grin
Deaf ears split tongue
Keep your eyes down and run

[Chorus]
So long! Fair enough!
You found a way to kill the plan!
Whoa! Things were looking up!
But the bastards, here they come again!
(They come again, they come again!)

[Verse 2]
A life line abused, cut the cord, what's the use?
Calling on your faith
That you lost inside your crowded head and hid away
Yeah, I'm the fool!

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus](x2)

[Bridge]
You throw yourself in line again
You're taking my dreams right out of my hands
And that's the smile of a guilty man
And the darkest clouds will roll away

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
