Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Today I may bleed, but tonight you will die
Snatched in your sleep, in the blackest night
You buried the truth under layers of lies
There's no return, now you've crossed the line
[Chorus]
Push me, I push you back
Tipping point
Tipping point
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Hiding your secrets out in plain sight
Dead men don't talk and bullets don't lie
Watching the life drain out from your eyes
Crossing my heart, how I hope you will die
[Chorus]
Push me, I push you back
Tipping point
Tipping point
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
I will invade your mind
Make you fear the sound
Of voices that aren't there
With no one else around
You try to stop the footsteps
And stop the heart that beats
You will beg for silence
You will pray for peace, woah
[Outro]
You won't defy me, you won't deny me
I'm at my tipping point
You won't define me, you'll never find me
I'm at my tipping point
