I've got a sharp stick I keep in my pocket I speak volumes, never utter a word When you strike a match, a fire will happen But the line between the smoke and the flames get blurred Don't you see the writing on the wall (The writing on the wall) You're in way over your head You're gonna drown in the things that you said Time has come and gone for words A thousand threats I've heard before But words are cheap, but lies are big to take Time has come and gone for words A thousand threats I've heard before And all your words are to debate today It's a paradox, a mystery, a riddle A door in your face and only I have the key Do understand, you'll be caught in the middle Caught in a web by being spun by me Don't you see the writing on the wall (The writing on the wall) Just a victim of your own conceit The architect of your own defeat Time has come and gone for words A thousand threats I've heard before But words are cheap, but lies are big to take Time has come and gone for words A thousand threats I've heard before And all your words are to debate today Never walk away from a fight that's worth fighting Never hesitate when you know you're gonna act Never waste your words on a fool who won't listen Never sell your soul cause you'll never buy it (back) Time has come and gone for words A thousand threats I've heard before But words are cheap, but lies are big to take Time has come and gone for words A thousand threats I've heard before And all your words are to debate today Time has come and gone for words A thousand threats I've heard before But words are cheap, but lies are big to take Time has come and gone for words A thousand threats I've heard before And all your words are to debate today
