The Jaws Of Death (Version 8 Contemporary Country)

(Long Musical Intro) (Verse 1) Your badge is placed upon your chest Tie is in a Windsor knot pulled up tight You chase that next set of imaginary rungs Through-out the day and every damn night He skipped his lunch once again But he still calls it a momentous win Your chest stays grounded and slow Until you finally decide to push yourself back in (Pre-Chorus) Your knees are like stone Eyes tired and burning red You say “just one more steep step man From the rocky jagged edge” (Chorus) The jaws of death It certainly echoes your name Climbing up so high on the ladder Burning out the center of your frame The jaws of death Are closing in on you Take the prize that you have won But what good is it too? The jaws of death Hear my beck and call for you now Come back down to a place of safety Before they eventually take you out (Verse 2) Morning coffee is sitting on cubes of ice You snatch one out and it’s cold-in your hand The work calendar is packed to the max Like requests to march for a high school marching band You missed my call in this back-and - forth game You disrupt the theft of your sacred breath And smile through the excruciating pain Like it's some sort of arrow pointing forward in progress (Pre-Chorus) Your knees are like stone Eyes tired and burning red You say “just one more steep step man From the rocky jagged edge” (Chorus) The jaws of death It certainly echoes your name Climbing up so high on the ladder Burning out the center of your frame The jaws of death Are closing in on you Take the prize that you have won But what good is it too? The jaws of death Hear my beck and call for you now Come back down to a place of safety Before they eventually take you out (Verse 3) One day the uninhabited view of this pointless game Won't pay all the necessary living costs As your title succumbs and quietly fades A pulse full of desire and ambition gets challenged and lost Filled with anger and overwhelming disdain Look into the mirrored bedroom dresser glass And tell me please what do you actually see? A hollowed-out three piece suit picture of us Silhouette’s amongst the giant redwood trees (Pre-Chorus) Your knees are like stone Eyes tired and burning red You say “just one more steep step man From the rocky jagged edge” (Long Musical Solos) (Chorus) The jaws of death It certainly echoes your name Climbing up so high on the ladder Burning out the center of your frame The jaws of death Are closing in on you Take the prize that you have won But what good is it too? The jaws of death Hear my beck and call for you now Come back down to a place of safety Before they eventually take you out (Outro) Your hand knocks At the front door You keep up the chasing Step over step and you add a floor more There is no debating or thought of erasing That I will end up with anything else but a huge score (Musical Outro)
