lyrics

Dodge & Burn

When your backs against the wall
It’s quite a view,
Turning inside out
In multiple shades of blues
Go within or go without
To thine own self be true

Gears gears grindin’ it out
Girls girls wanna find it all out
Boys boys wanna burn it all down
Can ya blame ‘em
Gears gears grindin’ it down
Boys boys wanna find it all out
Girls girls wanna burn it all down

It’s more than chemistry
It’s more like divinity
Gods not dead
She just don’t return my calls,
Yeah maybe I’ll be surprised
On the other side on the other side
Biting my tongue at the door
And feelin’ like I been here before

Wisdom's replaced by knowledge
Knowledge is replaced by information
Wisdom replaced by knowledge
Knowledge replaced by information

Gears gears grindin’ it out
Girls girls wanna find it all out
Boys boys wanna burn it all down
Can ya blame ‘em
Gears gears grindin’ it down
Boys boys wanna find it all out
Girls girls wanna burn it all down
Can ya blame ‘em

Today took a lot out of me
There’s no more of it I wanna see
There’s somewhere else I long be
And most the time your there with me
Dreams I had of you
Have taken wing and run
Moon caught herself in my tree
And she spoke to me
Yeah she spoke to me
She say draw yourself a line
And stand your ground
Stand your ground
Believe in you
Believe in you.
