Feint

Pressure builds while I sink
I'm locked in when I hit the ring
Eyes up until we're free
One small slip costs everything

A sane man claws their way through the rubble
Even quicksand drags you down through the struggle
I'm buried six feet underneath
I'm at my best when no one's comin' back for me

I stare into the loaded gun
I know when to fold, I'm just not ready to run
I'll keep you guessing how I feel
'til the pain kicks in you'll doubt it's real

I promised everyone
That I won't bow down 'til the battle's won
The gloves are on, I have no fear
When you hear that bell, just know

This time is for real
(Feint)
This time is for real
(Feint)
This time is for real
This time is for real

Thunder bolt echoing
I won't bow down to a wretched king
Your silence will speak so loud
You talk a big game but bare no crown

Sirens blare when you rush into battle
I'm a Trojan horse dragging bodies through the gravel
Play with fire, get fucked up
It's not always the lion that roars loud enough

I stare into the loaded gun
I know when to fold, I'm just not ready to run
I'll keep you guessing how I feel
'til the pain kicks in you'll doubt it's real

I promised everyone
That I won't bow down 'til the battle's won
The gloves are on, I have no fear
When you hear that bell, just know

This time is for real
(Feint)
This time is for real
(Feint)
This time is for real
(Feint)
This time is for real
(Feint)
This time is for real
