Obvious and True

Shifting gears with no commotion
There's primates in space with such devotion
The object is simple
It's whether you win or lose
The timing was off
It's not just what they said
When your playing with fire and your on the mend
You cannot fight what you cannot see
Conflicting points of imagery

With the words that bind us to the games that we must play
And it seems like they take more with every single day
If it's fire that your chasing with an everlasting thirst
When mercury is at its peak how could Hell be any worse
With the words that bind us to the games that we must play
And it seems like they take more with every single day
If it's fire that your chasing with an everlasting thirst
When mercury is at its peak how could Hell be any worse

Here's a thought, lost in motion
The wheel is moving but the axle is broken
When your high on fire, for miles to see
And your shedding the skin of complacency
The lights are on, but are you home
Or are you chasing the carrot at the end of the rope
Shoots and ladders, as if it all matters
If the former seems to fail then you'll still have the latter
If you boil it down, by all accounts
It's better to take a stance and hold some ground
There's not much more that one could say
Just roll the dice and come what may

With the words that bind us to the games that we must play
And it seems like they take more with every single day
If it's fire that your chasing with an everlasting thirst
When mercury is at its peak how could Hell be any worse
With the words that bind us to the games that we must play
And it seems like they take more with every single day
If it's fire that your chasing with an everlasting thirst
When mercury is at its peak how could Hell be any worse
Any worse
