The Middle Ground

(album: Burning The Days - 2009)

You illuminate me
You're the color I see
You're all the shines above
Through the dark and mistrust

All the doubt in your eyes
All the stars in the night
Is it the distance you need
Or is it just me?

I know you're awake
'cause you shake when you cry
As long as I wait,
I've got nothing but time

Take me in, or just take me out
Put me on if you must, or just put me down
'cause I'm done, I'm all worn out
We're either alive or a lie
I'm done with the middle ground.

You're the wind at my back
You're the courage I lack
But you live your life like a war
What are you fighting for?

Your touch is the water
that gives and takes away
So I wait in the gutter
for another rainy day

Take me in, or just take me out
Put me on if you must, or just put me down
'cause I'm done, I'm all worn out
We're either alive or a lie
I'm done with the middle ground.

You close your eyes to see the sun
And all the things you've never done
They all come out in the dark
And once again just break your heart

I know you're awake
'cause you shake when you cry
I'll hold you, I'll hold you,
But you've got to decide

Take me in, or just take me out
Put me on if you must, or just put me down
'cause I'm done, I'm all worn out
We're either alive or a lie, oh
We're either alive or a lie
I'm done with the middle ground.

I'm done with the middle ground.
I'm done with the middle ground.
Done with the middle ground.

I'm done with the middle ground.
I'm done with the middle ground.
