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