River of Pain

I told you once, I told you twice
That you can't live on compromise - but you won't listen
Another time, another place
It's like a neverending race and there's no reason
To waste your life away in one single day

s are burning and chances are few
Man with the scythe - he is coming for you
Stage is the same but some faces are new
Why can't you see that it's over?

I pulled you up, you let me down
I'm sick of dragging you around - it feels like forever
I'm going left, you're going right
Out of my life, out of my sight - it's now or never
Go waste your life away in one single day

s are burning and chances are few
Man with the scythe - he is pointing at you
Stage is the same but some faces are new
Why can't you see that it's over?

s are burning and chances are few
Listen, I'm trying to tell you that
Time's running out, God, but we never knew
Night's getting cold and your story is old - it's been told

I let you in, I turned you loose
I gave you lot's of time to choose to change the story
You are the snake around my hand
The one who used to be my friend - and now you're sorry
I've suffered all the way - you will today
Go, waste your life away in one single day

s are burning and chances are few
Man with the scythe - he is coming for you
Stage is the same but some faces are new
Why can't you see that it's over?

s are burning and chances are few
Waiting is over and this is your cue
Time's running out, God, but you never knew
Listen, I'm trying to tell you
