lyrics

Waiting for me in that corner of yours
Curled up in a ball like a dog for the past 24 hours
It's past due that you gave up your friends
The names we crave or it's the hose again

You know that I know that you know
Tell us everything and we'll let you go

Caught in a foxhole not a week ago
Out of ammo and looking pitiful
I stood there laughing, looking down at you
As you sat and envied the fallen troops

You know that I know that you know
Tell us everything and we'll let you go

Even with my hands around your throat
You smile at me like it's all a joke
Like a martyr fighting for something greater than himself
Like a sadist with an axe to grind

Time has past but nothing has changed
I'm still the one outside the cage
You stare at me with those stone cold eyes
Determined not to be the first of us to die

You know that I know that you know
Tell us everything and we'll let you go

Even with my hands around your throat
You smile at me like it's all a joke
Like a martyr fighting for something greater than himself
Like a sadist with an axe to grind
Even with my hands around your throat
You smile at me like it's all a joke
Like a child who has made his parents so proud
Like a prophet who just proved to be right

Why won't you give in?
(Why won't you?)
Why won't you cry?
(Why won't you cry?)
Just tell us what we want to hear
And this can end tonight

Everyone breaks
(Everyone breaks)
Eventually
(Eventually)
There's no shame in defeat
Who's to say what's right?
No, not I

Even with my hands around your throat
You smile at me like it's all a joke
Like a martyr fighting for something greater than himself
Like a sadist with an axe to grind
Even with my hands around your throat
You smile at me like it's all a joke
Like a sinner who just asked his God for help
Like a corpse buried absolved of his crimes
