lyrics

Equivalent Exchange:

The faceless will take what you failed to give
A door and a gate that only Gods can step in
It cost an arm and a leg
No luxury for the weak
If only you would bite your tongue
And ask for help when you fall
Instead a tight fist you clutch

Give and take equal value is what you'll have to pay
All these dreams are deluded if you don't decide to change

The mercy of none is the home you make
And watch the floor as it breaks into the infinite fall
And tie the soul to this world
Leaving nothing behind

If I could have found a way to go back
You know that I would
All this time I thought I had something to give
Something to give
Something to give you

Extorted the hope that I held inside
No matter how high the climb there's expectations
It cost an arm and a leg
You've taken all but my eyes

Give and take equal value is what you'll have to pay
All these dreams are deluded if you don't decide to change
All these dreams are deluded if you don't decide to change
