Coyote in Headlights

I'm not living in the past
I'm swallowing it whole
Let the pain now manifest
And let it lose all control

I'm not building monuments
Oh to triumph or to shame
I'm just tired of running the rat race
Tired of playing the game

Coyote in headlights
Coyote in headlights
It's not safe here in the streets
It might bring you to your knees
Coyote in headlights
Coyote in headlights
Is it time to take a stand?
Stay in the road and take a chance?
Will the car swerve at your presence?
Will it bend around your frame?
Will the ravens feed on roadkill
Of an unknown prophet's remains?
Either way
Either way
I'm not playing the game

It's not all black and white
There's grace within the grey
Hear the heralds of the gradients
Secure in the mystery

Wonder's not that simple
And fear it complicates
But the dangers of the middle ground
Just might be the safest place

Coyote in headlights
Coyote in headlights
It's not safe here in the streets
It might bring you to your knees
Coyote in headlights
Coyote in headlights
Is it time to take a stand?
Stay in the road and take a chance?
Will the car swerve at your presence?
Will it bend around your frame?
Will the ravens feed on roadkill
Of an unknown prophet's remains?
Either way
Either way
I'm not playing the game

I'm not playing the game
Oh, I'm taking a stand
With a smile on my face
Not a line in the sand
I'm not playing the game
I'm extending a hand
Dignity's no mistake
It was always the plan

Coyote in headlights
Coyote in headlights
Coyote in headlights
Coyote in headlights
