Lyrics

Mindsweeper

[Verse 1]

You had me running scared right from the start

You swept my mind, I fell apart

I was never clear with my intentions

But it's always fun with a bit of tension

[Pre-Chorus]

We're self-destructive

We'll be the first to say we fuckin' love it

[Chorus]

What kind of person can take what we've been through?

We drowned in the rain now there's nothing left to do

I'd rather suffer through than waste my time

I've come to realise it's only life

[Verse 2]

With the sun in my eyes

I'm feeling all my will begin to pry its way out of my mind

Pay more attention this time

We tread the line between the bones, the stepping-stones of life

[Chorus]

What kind of person can take what we've been through?

We drowned in the rain now there's nothing left to do

I'd rather suffer through than waste my time

I've come to realise it's only life

[Bridge]

I'm not giving up, I'm just down on my luck

I've given too much of me to this

I'm not giving up, I'm just down on my luck

I've given too much of me

[Chorus]

Time spent on this fence

Looking for some kind of context

It's not wasting time if you suffer through life

All you can do is try

[Outro]

We're not giving up, we're just down on our luck

We've given too much of us to this

We're not giving up, we're just down on our luck

We've given too much of us to
