middle man

Lyrics

smoking a pipe rocking in chair the middle man, plotting the ways he's going to interfere, permanent smile black in the eyes and onto you, all the moments of joy unwillingly disappear, holding you down, building you up, holding you down forever, holding you down, building you up, holding you down forever, he is the sound you hear, as the train rolls in, the daggers in your ear, the unforgiving ring, you try to stay calm, draw in a breath of sanity, try to believe that, this isn't happening, holding you down, building you up, holding you down forever, holding you down, building you up, holding you down forever, listen closely, take it to heart, hate to tear your plans apart but, don't resist just let the poison in, i've got a message here, stick it in your file, no matter what you do, it will be worth his while, holding you down, building you up, holding you down forever, holding you down, building you up, holding you down forever
