What Would You Say...You Do Here? Video (MV)

How coy of you to coop me up in these off white bedroom walls
If I worked until my fingers bled, would you care at all?
Built your castle with my sweat and tears, one brick for every drop
Volunteered the mortar for nine years
What if I decide to stop?
Go

It's far too late to determine
My fate's already sealed away
Give up I've thrown away the key
If you speak you better be certain
Your money and your mouth are moving the same way
It's not over for me

Oh if you want me to stay
Then why is your knife fixtured right behind me?
Oh if I'm down on my knees
You better bet I'm igniting the floorboards rotting beneath your feet

Suddenly I'm valued and so important now that you see my foot's out the door
So we agree it's clear who needs who more?
How does it feel to be vulnerable?
Hijacked this sinking ship with
Water collecting down in its hull
Funny how I'm the only one who can fix it

Oh if you want me to stay
Then why is your knife fixtured right behind me?
Oh if I'm down on my knees
You better bet I'm igniting the floorboards rotting beneath your feet

You've never been more wrong if you'd have expected me to crawl
Drain the motivation from my veins, now I'm a ghost that haunts these halls
If the overture is playing, then we're due for the start of the show
Three acts of desperation burning up everything you know
Everything you know

Oh if you want me to stay
Then why is your knife fixtured right behind me?
Oh if I'm down on my knees
You better bet I'm igniting the floorboards
And better yet I am writing my own scores from lies between your teeth
