Lyrics

Riddled With Ticks

Riddled with ticks

And squinting to see

We shook ourselves

We shook ourselves

We shook ourselves free

And whipped by the wind

Sand-stung and scree

We headed for

We made our way

We rolled into the sea

I know what is true

I know what is truth

I know what is truth

What is truth?

What is truth?

[Chorus]

And I will fight you

I will fight you

Will fight you

Will fight you

Will fight you

Will lose

Then patches of heat

In between the breeze

We dried ourselves

We dressed ourselves

We set ourselves free

And honest and true

His beauty was you

Will blame me

As I will blame you

[Chorus]

And I will fight you

I will fight you

Will fight you

Will fight you

Will fight

You will lose

Riddled with ticks

And squinting to see

We shook ourselves

We shook ourselves

We shook ourselves free
