That Dog'll Hunt - Evergreen Terrace

Stop burning bridges

When you know you can’t swim

You’re always starting battles

Just to bury men

Rattle the walls you built

To keep yourself in

With only ghosts left to commune

You can stare down the sun

But when you turn tail and run

I hope your feet don’t fail you

We’ll carry on.

We’ll carry on

Grind your teeth to the gum

You’re itching to jump the gun

But when your feet have failed you

We’ll carry on.

We’ll carry on

That’s what you get for staring at the sun again

Until the blood runs from your nose

I know you burn your candles at both ends

We all learn the hard way, I suppose
