Lyrics
I’ve spent my life stacking dynamite
Fool me once fool me twice
I’ve spent my life trying to live right
Dinosaur bones only know how low my toes touched stone
Down to my core
I shovel mud and I shuffle ore
Sifting dirt into jars just to keep score
I beg you
To watch your step before you snag the fucking land mines laid in my mind
Trip wires and bamboo death traps
Hiding deep in the dirt
I dare you
Paint along the tunnel walls
I draw ladders to heaven but traced in blood
My hearts a chasm
My mind a pit of mud
But the animal aches to rise above
Breaking the surface
War time no peace is the purpose
Curse us
Hurt us
Desert us
In the end there’s no friends
Explosives excavated from a war I couldn’t win
God lifted my chin and said:
Time to shine
Hide your eyes when I bite the dynamite
Skull ignites light of a firefight
Who survives alive on the other side
If I decide to detonate tonight
Who survives alive on the other side
If I decided to detonate tonight
Dig deeper
