[Intro]
Tick… tick…
Hear the clock chewing through your bones…
Another day gone…
What are you waiting for?
[Verse 1]
Your plate is cold
Your hands still shake
You circle the fire
Then let it fade
You keep the hunger
On a leash
One more excuse
And one more feast
[Pre-Chorus]
But time don’t wait
It bites back hard
You keep your mouth shut
You miss the spark
Your eyes stay open
Your spine stays bent
How much longer
Till it all goes?
[Chorus]
STOP PLAYING WITH YOUR FOOD
Bite down
STOP PLAYING WITH YOUR FOOD
Right now
You’ve got one life
Don’t let it rot
STOP PLAYING WITH YOUR FOOD
Or choke on what you got
[Verse 2]
The knife on the table
The rust in the sink
You let the good thing
Sit and stink
You want the heat
But you fear the flame
You keep on calling
The burn a game
[Pre-Chorus]
But time don’t wait
It bites back hard
You keep your mouth shut
You miss the spark
Your eyes stay open
Your spine stays bent
How much longer
Till it all goes?
[Chorus]
STOP PLAYING WITH YOUR FOOD
Bite down
STOP PLAYING WITH YOUR FOOD
Right now
You’ve got one life
Don’t let it rot
STOP PLAYING WITH YOUR FOOD
Or choke on what you got
[Bridge]
[Half-time breakdown]
Take the chance
Or watch it die
That plate won’t fill
With a perfect life
No second helping
No clean escape
You either swallow it
Or let it break
[Break]
Tick… tick…
Hear it now
[Final Chorus]
STOP PLAYING WITH YOUR FOOD
Bite down
STOP PLAYING WITH YOUR FOOD
Right now
You’ve got one life
Don’t let it rot
STOP PLAYING WITH YOUR FOOD
Or choke on what you got
STOP PLAYING WITH YOUR FOOD
Bite down
STOP PLAYING WITH YOUR FOOD
Right now
What are you waiting for?
Take the shot
STOP PLAYING WITH YOUR FOOD
Before the whole thing’s gone
