Wayside-
I'm gonna sit by the wayside
and wait for you to strike me down
I'm gonna sit by the wayside
and wait for you to strike me down
no one will save this town from burning to the ground but
when I offered my help, you didn't want me around
tempted to abandon all hope of escape,
there was nothing but screams as a last chance took shape
it was radically simple yet so hard to see
that all the while I was dying, it was my shadow and me
never alone, while my shadow's with me
file a complaint with whoever's in charge
but don't give into this nightmare--the straw man at large
empty the forests, presume that I hide
pass me each day, your war games denied
ignore me each day, for your threat is denied
I'm gonna sit by the wayside
and wait for you to strike me down
I'm gonna sit by the wayside
and wait for you to strike me down
'cuz I've found something better than the twisted and torn
I doubt you'd believe it -- don't have to take this anymore
I doubt you'd recieve it -- let's not do this anymore
I'm gonna sit by the wayside
and wait for you to strike me down
I'm gonna sit by the wayside
and wait for you to strike me down
no one will save this town from burning to the ground but
when I offered my help, you didn't want me around
tempted to abandon all hope of escape,
there was nothing but screams as a last chance took shape
it was radically simple yet so hard to see
that all the while I was dying, it was my shadow and me
never alone, while my shadow's with me
file a complaint with whoever's in charge
but don't give into this nightmare--the straw man at large
empty the forests, presume that I hide
pass me each day, your war games denied
ignore me each day, for your threat is denied
I'm gonna sit by the wayside
and wait for you to strike me down
I'm gonna sit by the wayside
and wait for you to strike me down
'cuz I've found something better than the twisted and torn
I doubt you'd believe it -- don't have to take this anymore
I doubt you'd recieve it -- let's not do this anymore
