Gates

So take a dip in the water
Is it as cold as you thought
(No)
You second guess what you're saying
Before you even open your mouth
And you don't
Give a damn about love
You're stuck standing in quicksand
Under that blood red sun
And you don't
Ever wanna die in vain
But this traveling troupe yeah
It'll leave town one day

You don't wanna talk about it no
Not worth tryin' anyway
Never ever wanna live without it no
Until you came across the gates

You're always begging your pardon
Know you been looking for a change
It always seems to get farther
Stuck spinning cartwheels in your brain

And you don't know
Exactly how it got this way
You're always looking for answers but
Oh but they're right in your face
And are you doomed
Tight hips cold hands
Why don't you come a little closer
And figure out where you stand

You don't wanna talk about it no
Not worth trying anyway
Never ever wanna live without it no
Until you came across the gates

And baby it's hard to change
When all the space in your brain
Just ain't the same everyday
Know you been looking for cures but baby
It was all the medicine that taught you how to hate
I know that you been unsure
You're scared to take a wrong turn
You got your face in the dirt

Until you came across the gates
