lyrics

Should I ignore the rocks below
And take a flip with a backwards “Geronimo”?
Scraped knees will mend quickly, although
My bruised ideals heal slow

If you ever find the man that you’ve been impersonating
Show him that I turned the scam inside out
Cause’ I don’t buy the new improved
You that you’re now parading
Now I know to live with you is to live with doubt

This flight will take more than a shove
My will remains an un-charmed flower bud
I can see the guilt, it’s caked on like blood
(But) what’s underneath I’m most scared of

If you ever want the life that you’ve been incarcerating
The offer that you couldn’t bear is inside out
Maybe if I come around. If I feel the fear abating
I can try to get it down and live with doubt
Live with doubt

Straight words from your mouth
Emerge as crooked as a bass clef
For someone who can carry a tune
Your heart’s certified tone deaf
Tone Deaf

Tell me if you’ve come to terms with the things you’re overrating
We can give this world a turn inside out
Some day when I come around. When I feel the fear abating
I can try to get it down and live with doubt
Live with doubt
