Proof
Is this the only way that you're satisfied?
Is this the only way you can sleep at night
When you only hear the things that I don't say?
You say that you wanna live in a past
Where you know what's gonna happen next
Where you know that I'm not gunna stray
Do I have to prove to you
That I spend each second of each day
Dancing in the minefield
Of what we could say
Do I have to prove to you
Our enemies are all out of range
We're setting all the pieces straight
And we're taking aim
The venom in your words makes me stagger
Do you spend the day sharpening your daggers?
Wading through the morass of your doubt?
You pull my strings so hard that your fingers bleed
And push me around until you get what you need
Waging a war within and without
Do I have to prove to you
That I spend each second of each day
Dancing in the minefield
Of what we could say
Do I have to prove to you
Our enemies are all out of range
We're setting all the pieces straight
And we're taking aim
There's a gaping hole in the middle of our lives
That can't be stitched with compromise
We're only empty shells of ourselves if we let it be
Drag out of the shadows what we dare not name
Instead of picking me as the villain to blame
Should we suffer alone or inseparably?
Do I have to prove to you
That I spend each second of each day
Dancing in the minefield
Of what we could say
Do I have to prove to you
Our enemies are all out of range
We're setting all the pieces straight
And we're taking aim
Is this the only way you can sleep at night
When you only hear the things that I don't say?
You say that you wanna live in a past
Where you know what's gonna happen next
Where you know that I'm not gunna stray
Do I have to prove to you
That I spend each second of each day
Dancing in the minefield
Of what we could say
Do I have to prove to you
Our enemies are all out of range
We're setting all the pieces straight
And we're taking aim
The venom in your words makes me stagger
Do you spend the day sharpening your daggers?
Wading through the morass of your doubt?
You pull my strings so hard that your fingers bleed
And push me around until you get what you need
Waging a war within and without
Do I have to prove to you
That I spend each second of each day
Dancing in the minefield
Of what we could say
Do I have to prove to you
Our enemies are all out of range
We're setting all the pieces straight
And we're taking aim
There's a gaping hole in the middle of our lives
That can't be stitched with compromise
We're only empty shells of ourselves if we let it be
Drag out of the shadows what we dare not name
Instead of picking me as the villain to blame
Should we suffer alone or inseparably?
Do I have to prove to you
That I spend each second of each day
Dancing in the minefield
Of what we could say
Do I have to prove to you
Our enemies are all out of range
We're setting all the pieces straight
And we're taking aim
