Take It Back

It's hard enough to notice Harder still to react Just a stone's throw From the center of our attention We all fade to black Save me from a villainous imagination Deliver me from my friends If I said something to make you mad I will take it back It's hard enough to stomach But try to look away Is this a news report Or a trailer for a motion picture? It all fades to gray Save me from a villainous imagination Deliver me from my friends If I said something to make you mad I will take it back Long lines and warning signs Think of all the lives Saved by plastic knives It's naive but make believe We will never lose If we remove our shoes It's hard to keep your mouth shut Harder still to make noise But we can't have The perfect 20/20 hindsight That our fate enjoys So save me from a villainous imagination Deliver me from my friends And if I said something to make you mad I will take it back I will take it back
