a match unprepared needs struck for igniting
i see flames in the air, but still can't smell the sulfur
the devil and the details are forever fighting
over choices and souls that are no longer yours
she burned the biscuits and threw out the gravy
tones become viscous in the attempt to save me
no rest for the wicked or do they mean weary
i tend to forget when my vision's impaired
you fill up my mind with the best of intentions
then cover my head, suffocating my thoughts
you love to hate me, guess you forgot to mention
i'm a rock that won't move, completely covered in moss
determined to be stubborn or willing to hold out
i guess that depends on how you carry your cross
second guessing only succeeds in creating more doubt
you paid the toll, without ever asking the cost
time's worth more than money, yet there's no way to save it
money is worthless when it's in the wrong hands
if given the chance would you stay for the conflict
or give it away and demolish the plans
