SHINEDOWN Threat To Survival LYRICS
Asking For It
Can I have a moment of your time?
Just a single second so you see that indeed we’ll be leaving you behind, before I cross that line
Turn it up so you can hear the bells crashing through the clouds as it rain down the drain
That we know all too well, it’s a living hell
Careful what you say and who you say and who you say it to
Careful what you say and who you say you it to
Baby you talked too much and you were asking for it, asking for it, asking for it
You can blame bad luck but you were asking for it, asking for it, asking for it
When all is said and done, you need to tie your tongue
Cause when you spit on everyone
You were arguing and now you’re asking for it, asking for it, asking
Caught up in the gutter once again
Crashing through the mud, throwing lies, cutting ties until the sidewalk ends
And the truth begins
Power through the point of no return
Famously arranged all the same I hope you change if that world is gonna turn
It’s not my concern
Careful what you say and who you say and who you say it to
Careful what you say and who you say you it to
Baby you talked too much and you were asking for it, asking for it, asking for it
You can blame bad luck but you were asking for it, asking for it, asking for it
When all is said and done, you need to tie your tongue
Cause when you spit on everyone
You were arguing and now you’re asking for it, asking for it, asking
You are, you are, you are, you are, you are asking for it
You are, you are, you are, you are, you are asking for it
Careful what you say and who you say and who you say it to
Careful what you say and who you say you it to
Baby you talked too much and you were asking for it, asking for it, asking for it
You can blame bad luck but you were asking for it, asking for it, asking for it
When all is said and done, you need to tie your tongue
Cause when you spit on everyone
You were arguing and now you’re asking for it, asking for it, asking
You know you’re asking for it, asking for it.
You know you’re asking for it, asking!

Cut The Cord
(Freedom, la la la la)
(Freedom, follow me)
(Freedom, la la la la)
(Freedom) Cut it
(Freedom, la la la la)
(Freedom, follow me)
(Freedom, la la la la)
(Freedom)
Let me tell you, I'm vicious
Not pass-aggressive
I got my finger on my pulse, staring straight into a hole and I'ma get it
And I'm a savage
It's automatic
I got a way of making noise, the power to destroy with no static
Now victory is all you need
So cultivate and plant the seed
Hold your breath and count to ten, just count to ten
I'm gonna make it rain, so ring the bell
I know it all too well
Switchblade on the edge of your wrist
Can I get a witness? (Witness)
Cause agony brings no reward
For one more hit and one last score
Don't be a casualty, cut the cord
(Freedom, la la la la)
(Freedom, follow me) Cut the cord
(Freedom, la la la la)
(Freedom)
You gotta feel courage
Embrace possession
If it was easier to shatter everything that ever mattered
But it's not, because it's your obsession
Be a fighter, backbone, desire
Complicated and it stings, but we both know what it means
And it's time to get real and inspired
Now victory is all you need
So cultivate and plant the seed
Hold your breath and count to ten, just count to ten, just count to ten
I'm gonna make it rain, so ring the bell
I know it all too well
Switchblade on the edge of your wrist
Can I get a witness? (Witness)
Cause agony brings no reward
For one more hit and one last score
Don't be a casualty, cut the cord
Cut it
Cut it
Now victory is all you need
So cultivate and plant the seed
Hold your breath and count to ten, just count to ten
I'm gonna make it rain, so ring the bell
I know it all too well
Switchblade on the edge of your wrist
Can I get a witness? (Witness)
Cause agony brings no reward
For one more hit and one last score
Don't be a casualty, cut the cord
Don't be a casualty, cut the cord
(Freedom, la la la la)
(Freedom, follow me) Cut the cord
(Freedom, la la la la)
(Freedom, follow me, me, me)

Black Cadillac
I got a mind full of aggravation
I can take it if I just relax
I say a prayer for the motivation
Keep me solid so I stay on track
But there’s a monkey on my back
And it don’t know how to act
Got me climbin’ up and down the walls
Now I gotta make a choice
Maybe then I can rejoice
‘Cause I'm sick of all the same withdrawals
I got a mind full of inspiration
And I ain't livin’ in the past no more
So feast your eyes
On the big, blue sky
And wave bye bye
From a long, black Cadillac
Pay the price
Gotta roll those dice
And wave bye bye
From a long, black Cadillac
From a long, black Cadillac (Cadillac)
I hear the sirens of redemption
Screamin’ out like never before
And there's a roadblock in every direction
But I ain't stoppin’ ‘cause I'm in control
And there’s a monkey on my back
So I gotta set a trap
‘Cause I'm sick of all the same withdrawals
I got a mind full of inspiration
And I ain't livin’ in the past no more
So feast your eyes
On the big, blue sky
And wave bye bye
From a long, black Cadillac
Pay the price
Gotta roll those dice
And wave bye bye
From a long, black Cadillac
Ridin’ high in a long, black Cadillac
Ridin’ high in a long, black Cadillac
In a long, black Cadillac
I ain’t living in the past no more
I ain’t living in the past no more
Screaming out like never before
Screaming out like never before
(1 2, 1 2 3 4)
So feast your eyes
On the big, blue sky
And wave bye bye
From a long, black Cadillac
Pay the price
Gotta roll those dice
And wave bye bye
From a long, black Cadillac
Feast your eyes
On the big, blue sky
Ridin’ high in a long, black Cadillac
Feast your eyes
On the big, blue sky
Ridin’ high in a long, black Cadillac
Feast your eyes
On the big, blue sky
Ridin’ high in a long, black Cadillac
Feast your eyes
On the big, blue sky
Ridin’ high in a long, black Cadillac
