Halifax lyrics - Giant in The Ring

album: The Inevitability of a Strange World (2006)
genre:

Look past the empty bottles 
See through your sympathy 
I'd rather be taking sorries from the man who left me out on the street 
You spit out your words with a terrible stutter 
Leave feelings out of stories like a cheating disease 
If I can't trust you, how can I trust the karma chasing me? 

So don't sell me out 
Cause I'm worth more than the finger that is bearing your class ring 

Chase the drinks you can't control 
Hide your hands behind your head 
Hold them up high, make sure no one sees the strings attached to them 
You run with the pack with the wrong intentions 
Hold your breath when you've lost your way 
Lie to me again and you've lost another place to stay 

So don't sell me out 
Cause I'm worth more than the finger that is bearing your class ring 
If you want a battle, just know my record is high 
I'm a giant in the ring and I will call you out like a lie 

Give me a reason to believe all the things that you told me 
That you told all the ones that were closer 
So much closer to you than I've ever been 
I can't risk it 
My own sanity's losing it's last nerve 
I can't wait till the winter is over 
Till its over and I can just sit back, relax 

So don't sell me out 
Cause I'm worth more than the finger that is bearing your class ring 
If you want a battle, just know my record is high 
I'm a giant in the ring and I will call you out like a lie 

Give me a reason to believe all the things that you told me 
That you told all the ones that were closer 
So much closer to you than I've ever been 
If you want a battle, just know my record is high 
I'm a giant in the ring and I will call you out like a lie
