lyrics

If I breath in deep, will the smoke in my lungs
find it's way up, out like a loaded gun
My tongue is a bullet, do my words just shoot to kill?
Will I be better for it?

If I drink my fill, will the knot in my gut
loosen a drop of warmth in this empty cup
My heart is a shelter, made of rock but the roof still leaks.
Will I be better for it?

Step left to right down the marching line, oh
Cause your knee deep now in the rue of the fight, oh
Don't turn your back for a second, oh temptress she will bite, oh
Just keep your eyes to front, follow my guiding light, oh

If I think to much, will the blood in my veins
keep my mind afloat on uneven waves
My thoughts are rudder, pure but tempted by an open sea.
Will I be better for it?

Step left to right down the marching line, oh
Cause your knee deep now in the rue of the fight, oh
Don't turn your back for a second, oh temptress she will bite,
Just keep your eyes to front, follow my guiding light

Run my son , come, I am here (meet me here)
Run my love, come, let go of your fears

You will be better for it
