Why don't you tell me
What do you need?
There is a blank page
For you
Give me the bones of
What you believe
Maybe they'll save you
From me
Will I be the strong hand
Keeping you safe
Or will I break you
In half
And you will never
Be under my thumb
But you are not your
Own man
See the way we all run
When we know it all off by heart
Playing down, waiting all out
Will we win or lose it this time?
When the pressure's building for a great white hope
Do you give up things that you love?
And the pressure's building 'til it takes you whole
Can you go back on your own word?
All of your brothers
They never died
For what you kill for
Slowly
How it will grind you
Into the ground
If you should try to
Hold me
See the way we all run
When we know it all off by heart
Played down, waiting all out
When we win or lose it this time
When the pressure's building for a great white hope
Do you give up things you love?
And the pressure's building 'til it takes you whole
Can you go back on your own word?
When the pressure's building for a great white hope
Do you give up things you love?
And the pressure's building 'til it takes you whole
Can you go back on your own word?
