Can you do all that you claim to?

Can you just sit back?

Can you survive a jury of your peers?

If I took the limelight would it rectify all that?

Would it draw the focus from your fears? 



Create a pitch and target at the everyman

A demographic quite overlooked

No paper trail, no cause for conspiracy

We'll do it right and update the books

While funding comes from taking everything we can

A uniform that wears you so well

I'll pull the strings and hide in anonymity

And then they'll buy whatever you sell 



So on your throne a sword is hanging over head

Amidst the passion of your name

And if I kept all of my promises to you

Would it be possible for you to do the same? 



When you lose your patience

When your sense is coming back

Entertaining thoughts of getting out 

Would you be lost without it

Would you see the need for that

Would the cost be greater than your doubts? 



It takes a hold and teaches new philosophies

A stubborn mouth and losing control

When you speak through tears without apology

The irony is something to behold

You isolate and tightly tie the tourniquet

Communications taper and fade

If the subject seems to be rejecting it

Then think of all the plans that we've made 



A simple gesture shows that everything's in tact

While keeping interest in this game

And if I kept all of my promises to you

Would it be possible for you to do the same?

Would you do the same?

You'd do the same



Can you do all that you claim to?

Can you just sit back?

Can you survive a jury of your peers?

If I took the limelight would it rectify all that?

Would it draw the focus from your fears?
