Le Ruse

(album: Walk It Off - 2008)

Riddles fill and down the stakes
And I'll be around to fall
Cheated all by battle songs
Le ruse was fought back off

We've been trying to hold you up
To keep you safe from the fall
We've been trying to hold you up
To keep you safe from the fall
To belong, you belong

Even with the siren
The comeback is strong
Set against the regret
Of times you've been stung

I've been trying to hold you up
Until you break from the fall
I've been trying to hold you up
Until you break from the fall
You'll be wrong
You'll be wrong
You'll be wrong

You were hiding this time
You've been up and refined
You've been holding up
With your head in the sun

You've been up
You've been had
You've been sold
You were born
You're a man

You're an only child
You're a joke
On the side
You were mine

I'm on trial I'm on fire [x4]
I'm on trial

I'm on trial I'm on fire [x4]
Trial... Fire...
Trial... Fire...

Here by the sideshow
For years come and gone
There will come another
In time to bring down

I've been trying to hold you up
To keep you free from the fall
I've been trying to hold you up
To keep you free from the fall
You'll be gone
