Hardwired

Compositor: Gemma Hayes

Grew up tall
Grew up straight
On the edge of

Tired eyes
Open wide
On the edge of

The cold gets in
When the truth is thin
On the edge of

Hold your tongue
Feel that burn
On the edge of

What are you gonna do about it
What are you gonna say
Where are you gonna hide the words
Written on your face

Up high now marching to their orders
Running blind they say fire's in the water
Disconnect maybe this will all be over
But I'm too hardwired

We're all hardwired
We're all hardwired
We're all hardwired

Brace yourself
For nothing else
On the edge of

Hold your own
Now you've made my home
On the edge of

What are you gonna do about it
What are you gonna say
Where are you gonna hide the words
Written on your face

When standing on the brink
They cast you like a stone
Bet you think you're flying
Well man you've just been thrown

Up high now marching to their orders
Running scared they say fire's in the water
Disconnect maybe this will all be over
But I'm too hardwired

We're all hardwired
We're all hardwired
Hard hardwired

He said I was pretty and he loved my old soul
Well I live that memory till I grow old
Without even knowing he stopped my river flowing
With each word he unbuttoned

What are you gonna do about it
What are you gonna do
What are you gonna do about it
What are you gonna do

Up high now marching to their orders
Running scared they say fire's in the water
Disconnect maybe this will all be over
But I'm too hardwired

We're all hardwired
We're all hardwired
Hard hardwired

We're all hardwired
We're all hardwired
We're all hardwired
Hard hardwired
