Petrified

You're the breath in us too
 You're the test of what's true
 You're the one that stops them
 You become the problem
 It's just a different side
 Of the many walls in your mind
 The walls with secret panels
 Built with knives and hammers
 Petrified
 By what you've done - and you've just begun
 I hope you get your way
 But what a price to pay

 You're the pain I go through
 To get to where I need to
 You're the retribution
 A sordid institution
 It's just a different way
 Of "saving face", as you say
 A face that spares no malice
 That drinks the poisoned chalice
 Petrified
 By what you've done - and you've just begun
 I hope you get your way

 You take the falling rain
 You make the sun that dried it
 You shoulder all the blame
 You've got the strength to hide it
 Led emotion to the door
 Remind me who you were before
 ♪
 You are the wheels in motion
 A wave of self-promotion
 You beat a different drum
 The rhythm's strong, but no fun
 You are the vengeful hand
 That tasted sweet, but so bland
 You are my one protection
 But you try to hard to get them
