Lyrics
COUNT ME IN
THE STAKES ARE SO HIGH
WHEN WE LIVE ON THE EDGE
WITHOUT A RHYME OR REASON
IN OVER MY HEAD
A VICTIM MENTALITY
A HEART ACHING BLEED
IT'S TIME TO CHANGE MY REALITY
I HAVE ALL I NEED
LINGERING LONELINESS
SEASONS OF SENSELESSNESS
MY HOPE TUMBLEWEEDS
YET MY FAITH SUPERSEDES
AND THERE'S A TIME FOR EV'RY THING
IT'S MY DEFINING MOMENT
AN HOMAGE TO DIVINITY
COUNT ME IN, I'M COMING OUT
HONESTY BITES
BUT I'D RATHER BE SANE
GONNA DO WHAT I KNOW IS RIGHT
NO PAIN, NO GAIN
SOME PEOPLE WONT RESPECT IT
BUT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
IT'S THE TRUTH, WE SHOULDN'T FORGET IT
LOVE IS LOVE
CHORUS
THE STAKES ARE SO HIGH
THE STAKES ARE SO HIGH
THE STAKES ARE SO HIGH
THEY'RE SO DAMNED HIGH
