Lost in Action
You stake your claim on my time, and I succumb to a rhyme
I won't cry at this one, been toughened by friendly fire
This is all I've got, so I'm not wasting time; no time
Can I be lost in action? No reaction's what I've seen
Just a silent distraction, out of the picture, it seems, completely
You gave no time to my claim, and I ride out the blame
I just can't cry with this one; collateral damage is done
Can I be lost in action, action's not what it seems to be?
It's just a sign of distraction, out of the picture, it seems, completely
You're telling the story of the age, but it breaks your heart to say
There's nothing left of the printed page, nothing left at close of day
Can I be lost in action? Action's not my scene
It's just a failed reaction, out of the picture, it seems, completely
Can I be lost in action, when action's not what I've seen?
It's just a sign of distraction, out of the picture, completely
You stake your claim on my time, so come to a lie
Not going to cry over this one, I've been toughened by friendly fire too many times
Can I be lost in action, action's not my scene
It's just a silent distraction, out of the picture
You stake your claim on my time, and I succumb to a rhyme
