Act Now Lyrics

act now, time is running out
your value fell through, bottomed out
now you're sleeping on the ground
where you'll never come around
'til you find out what this record's all about

in my sheepskin once again it wears thin
hold my tongue like i'm dumb 'cause my thoughts are atom bombs
'cause i make it acid rain, swung and missed and won the game
then i'm home again, number one or two or ten

act now 'cause hell is coming
i try to hold the sun in the sky but i'm burning
still i've worked too hard to give up now

and i'm hell-bent, heaven-sent to stop you
in your tracks with my tracks, flip the switch and fade to black
when your melody unfolds and the harmonies are gold, i'm your minor key
i don't care, i don't care, i don't care

act now 'cause hell is coming
i try to hold the sun in the sky but i'm burning
still i've worked too hard to give up now
everyone's got reason enough
to rip right through what makes you you

every day i start again, wage a new war, maybe i'll win there's no time for love and to my best friend,
sorry if i never see you again, 'cause i am in hell
and i'll like it here if you will stay for year after year
my fiery lungs, the world that you hate
you looked in my heart, i spat in your face

act now 'cause hell is coming
i try to hold the sun in the sky but i'm burning
still i've worked too hard to give up now
