When you try to talk
And yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you're playing but
You got to hold on to your time till you break
Yeah, swinging your mother's sword
Don't you stay
And you drift away
Through these times of trouble
Yeah, swinging your mother's sword
Don't try to do it
And the words get hard
Yeah, you might do it
Don't you ditch away
Sometimes the rules get hard
I saw you swinging
And you close the shades
And they put you down
You got to hold on to your time till you break
Is upon your back
If somebody pushed you over the edge
I saw you swinging
That the world in black
Then you can't change your mind
I can hear you say
But if somebody left you out on a ledge
But if somebody left you out on a ledge
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you're playing but
If somebody pushed you over the edge
Sometimes the rules get hard
Don't try to kill your time
And your body shakes
If somebody loved you and left you for dead
You've got a hold on to your time
Till your break through these times of trouble
So you ditch away
