Triple Overtime

i saw your fear when the smoke rose the words we spoke, the breath we hold the crippling silence of a nightmare brought to life the dream to be released from the chokehold of the night held by the cold, the disease of this tilted earth al last chance to prove your one life's worth a jail cell, a courthouse every establishment we could learn to live without i saw you give up throw this chance away said it was your only choice but i continue still today and i won't give up til the tide has turned my way i'll fight til the day i die until the way things are changes. i saw you give up i saw you give up is the blinding light of a new life keeping us from realizing what we could have? are we still comparing ourselves to a god that should have fled our memories long ago? when the look back they'll say you were nothing special you just rose, controlled, and fell and as you avoided your eternal damnation after life, you'd created your own hell.
