First to Fall

Black and white. Shades of gray into the night. I put pen to paper and I write. I sleep it off, I'll be alright. Crawling out Of my skin into the doubt. Silently I scream and shout Off to war, this soldier's down You have my back against the wall Oh tell me how to end it all And I'll be the first to fall, the first to fall It's my crime The prisoner of war I hide I have learned to go inside I have learned to bide my time You have my back against the wall Oh tell me how to end it all And I'll be the first to fall, the first to fall All the noise, all the noise, all the noise I hear It never really makes it clear What keeps me hanging on again And oh the fear and all the fear and all the fear, all the fear I know Well it never really lets me go From this choke hold You have my back against the wall Oh tell me how to end it all And I'll be the first to fall, the first to fall
