The Heist

To a man faced with death
The reserve note is key
No solution in sight
It all falls on me
What's a man to do
It's either death or it's greed
Watch the innocent suffer
Watch the innocent bleed
Life on your back
Not a single fighting chance
It's all set and planned
So with the devil I shall dance
Time's rendered dry
So completion comes first
Nothing difficult
Leave every witness in the dirt
I pound my head against the wall
Trying so hard to please them all
Preservation instinct
And the will to survive
Idealistic visions
Keep the last hope alive
Let's not sensationalize
Desperate measures for desperate times
If all else fails
Maybe I'll still have relief
You can catch me in the headlines
Morals and empathy killed the thief
At the end of the day
If you show them your trust
They'll show your back a blade
Simple, good intentions
Are paving the way
Maybe hell ain't so bad
Now that home is a fucking cage
