Lyrics Before You Burn - Tokyo Rose

Before You Burn

What will it take for you to learn, that all your actions are coupled with
reactions?
You might not see it now
You’re right to hold your standards high
But when the others just miss, it is right to dismiss?
They’re trying as hard as you
Won’t you cut them a little slack or stand and watch them choke?
What gives you the right to cut them down
When they’re reaching for the same stars as you are?
Tear down your walls
You’re not keeping anyone, from entering your city limits
The tide is rushing in, as the ocean greets your shores, and you become an
island
What goes around comes back around
Hope what you put forward is everything you hoped for
It pays ten to one in time
Your world revolves around your head
And when it stops spinning, you’ll find that you’ve been living all alone,
nowhere to go
Should I cut you a little slack or stand and watch you choke?
What gives you the right to cut them down
When they’re reaching for the same stars as you are?
Tear down your walls
You’re not keeping anyone, from entering your city limits
The tide is rushing in, as the ocean greets your shores, and you become an
island
You’ll learn as you live
You’ll get as you give
Stop to think before you burn your bridges
It’s never to o late to redirect fate
It’s in your court
What will it take for you to learn?
Just stop to think before you burn
