lyrics

Rule of thumb
pushed you towards a currently ungrounded hum
running tap, running fast towards a narrowed minded path
built to crash out loud
I know how hard you try to stay the same
and given it a bad name

nobody here is keeping score
never a clue what it’s all for

oh what a blow dealt to your pride
I’ll meet you on the other side
where we can find some piece of mind
I cannot find my piece of mind
oh what a blow dealt to your pride
I’ll meet you on the other side
Where we can go and find some piece of mind
I cannot find my piece of mind
You are a

broken bone
you’re set to grow back in an crooked angled home
broken trust
you’ve discussed all that you know you think you know
you think you’ve found a way
to be on top
look down so long so far so bad
the power you've had
never a clue what it is for

Oh what a blow dealt to your pride
I’ll meet you on the other side
Where we can find some piece of mind
I cannot find my piece of mind
oh what a blow dealt to your pride
I’ll meet you on the other side
Where we can go and find some piece of mind
I cannot find my piece of mind

you're running hot
