Axe To Grind

Talk too loud, pretend not to hear
Bite your lip, but don't get too near
You open your heart, enough to convey
All the things that you had, but had to forsake
Coz it's all about you

I survive the curse of this room
I travel the distance between me and you
I'm out of my mind, and you're unaware
Sometimes you're around, sometimes I don't care

Coz it's all about you
But what about me

Coz you got an Axe to Grind, grind away
For every lie that you tell, there's a line on your face
Why, Lie
You push it too far
I'm dying, Inside
Stay right where you are and
Let me slide away

Press your eyes enough to draw tears
Just one more round might wipe out these fears
You can take aim and fire whenever you please
But every shot that you take is a piece out of me

Let's make it all about you
And then forget about peace

Coz you got an Axe to Grind, grind away
You drop a man to his knees, and it's easier prey
Why, Lie
Get back where you are
I'm dying, Inside
Get back in your car and
Drive away
Drive away

And if it's not about me
Then tell me who do you love
Coz if it's all about you
Tell me what about me

For one that's so beautiful
You're pretty ugly, if you know what I mean
Got every guy in the room watching you
But your beauty is only skin deep

You could have been anything
You could have set the world alight with lust
But you were busy pulling problems out 'the air
Now you tell me it's a matter of trust
Tell me, who do you trust
Who do you trust
Who do you trust
Who do you trust
Who do you trust
Who do you trust
Who do you trust
Who do you trust
Who do you trust

Coz you got an Axe to Grind, grind away
For every lie that you tell, there's a line on your face
Why, Lie
Get back where you are
I'm dying, Inside
Get back in your car and
Drive away
Drive away
Coz if it's all about you
And all the less about me
Then tell me who do you love
