Lyrics:

I lost my tug of war today
Took my foot off of the brakes
(The definition of insanity is looping on repeat, and expecting things to change)
But what comes up must hit the ground
So I drink these anvils down

A stumbling tango
It’s a dance with the devil
Trying to borrow from tomorrow It’s a dance

A stumbling tango
It’s a dance with the devil
Trying to borrow from tomorrow It’s a dance

It’s a dance But what, what is it worth waking up with a crown of clouds?
What is it worth, when my head spins out with doubt?
Wish I could measure when the poison is pouring out
Oh… It’s a dance
Oh, no, oh, no, I don’t need you (it’s a dance)
Oh, no, oh, no, I don’t need you (it’s a dance)
Oh, no, oh, no, I don’t need you (it’s a dance)
Oh, no, oh, no (it’s a…)
