Habitual Line-Stepper Lyrics by Periphery

Periphery III: Select Difficulty

2016

We walked the line
Living in a state of mind controlled by a tyrant
Mistakes burn
Never did he learn to back off and spit that shit
I'm that motherfucker picking in your old brain and stealing sleep
Take the dive or keep it alive?
Now it's on you

[Chorus]
Your tower is falling down into a black hole
Take it away
Take it away now
The agony is crumbling over your soul
Take it away
Take it away now

I'd like to take the price of your high and jam it deep down your throat
They're calling for the stage to take your breath away
You were the barricaded man
They're calling for the stage to give everything away
You were the barricaded man

[Chorus]
Your tower is falling down into a black hole
Take it away
Take it away now
The agony is crumbling over your soul
Take it away
Take it away now

Lost in the violent throes of this separation

(Done waiting, done waiting)
(Done waiting, done waiting)
Done waiting on pleasant times
Never arrived
Done waiting on pleasant times
They never arrived

Lost in the violent throes of this separation
Know what you're waiting for?
Watch them burn your home
Felt insane, but it's finally come home to me
My dear brain, hate
Feel hate, let go of all your fear

[Build-Up]
Your tower's falling down into a black hole
You were the barricaded man
Your tower's falling down into a black hole
You were the barricaded man

[Breakdown]
They're calling for the stage to take your breath away
You were the barricaded man
They're calling for the stage to give everything away
You were the barricaded man

[Outro]
(Show us the way), your tower is falling down into the hole
(Show us the way), the agony is pouring over your damned soul
(Show us the way), was there a way to be a better man and stay?
(Show us the way), was there a way? We'll never know
(Show us the way), come on, come on, will you show the way?
(Show us the way), show us the way
(Show us the way), was there a way to be a better man and stay?
(Show us the way), was there a way? We'll never know
