Sufficiently Breathless Lyrics

and that discussion was all true
until you decided to bust in with the old you
now youre judging them all through your gut
and it sucks that youre stuck in with no shoes to walk in so
there aint nothing to soften the blow
from that trailer burning coal to the rocks in the road
but you expecting to follow in your (???) footsteps
which couldnt never work because you wouldnt look left

and yes there was love in the air,
you should have took breaths,
you know you should've
i said yes, there was love in the air,
you shouldve took breaths,
you know you could've

and yes, im leaving to rest,
in the heart of your machine,
while its bleeding to death
until its carcass is clean,
im feeding the rest of its still beating chest
to the lesser of your subjects.

and theyre benchpressing their grudges,
repeating the reps and blending them in with their crutches
and preaching their steps,
i step lightning, tonight, there might just be a jailbreak
and more than likely its failsafe.
full speed ahead til the sail breaks
take a deep breath
man that ocean there has a stale taste
of a centurys old war,
where it was either all for one,
or one on all fours

now, they were trained to kill all the silence(?),
using nothing but steel gold and diamonds
they used their skills to build roads to islands
and i ain't gonna leave til the hills close their eyes

so double knot the laces in your boots when you leave,
cause troubles got the ace of every suit in its sleeve,
so quit shooting the breeze, and living lucrative dreams
and just looping, just looping, just looping it seems.

now, they were trained to kill all the silence(?),
using nothing but steel gold and diamonds
they used their skills to build roads to islands
and i aint gonna leave til the hills close their eyes
