rusted child, move again
burn old bridges, eat the wind
find the stolen, take it back
live and learn through love and lack
ride on high, you rusted one
find your talent, unload your gun
life is canvas, future blank
past is the past, yes, it's an empty tank

don't let your body fool your mind
don't let your body fool your mind
don't go picking at the scabs
of loves that didn't last
don't let your body fool your mind

uncork the time and let it fly
young and old will always die
blisters open, raw and hot
be the blister, be the rot
then be the ointment, cool and soft
be the one who's held aloft
stroke no egos, own your shame
say "I'm coming" and not "I came"

don't let your body fool your mind
don't let your body fool your mind
foot down on the gas
it's time to make some tracks
don't let your body fool your mind

don't let your body fool your mind
don't let your body fool your mind
life is in the gaps
between good times and bad
don't let your body fool your mind

feel the empty, fill the fools
it's your turn, go break some rules
grab a beer and oil your wings
aim for the sun and all it brings
