COUNTERPUNCH LYRICS

"Sweet And Sour"

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 tolling 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 not just yet
Because they might still suspect
So 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
