Split Ring

got a friend get in the way
locked down it wasn't the same
in all the while it cuts us in two
they cut it short and it fell through
this is a knot you fastened too soon
tie up all the life in you
whether not you're taking a stand
we're still holding your falling hand

take it to the ring, call it a come back
held you on a chain when you wanted to stay
take it to the ring, call it a come back
we like you the old way, one and the same

got a friend get in the way
locked down it wasn't the same
flat back against the wall
you see one and you see them all
