Lyrics by Indi Riverflow

Put back that fire before you torch the place
Punch a gift horse square in the face
Caught between a clock and a hard chase
You would cut off your rose to spite your space

I used to see you double down on a pair
With a gleam in your eye and knots in your hair
One hand out and the other in the air
Dreaming your way to a fool’s nightmare

The house always has the grifter beat
You knew that when you first claimed your seat
But if the dealer spots you trying to cheat
You’ll never get out from under the heat

{Chorus}
The bridges you sell and bridges you burn
The lies you tell and the fate you earn
The pain you inspire and the chaos you churn
Every action returns
Every action returns
Every action returns

Stealin’ roses from the cart on the street
Right next to the very same spot you eat
Lick the boots right off of their feet
Never heard a sob song sound so sweet

Dazzle the others with your magic tricks
I’ve seen every one, and I’m getting sick
Of watching your candle burn without a wick
Turning the other cheek so both pockets can be picked

{Chorus}
The bridges you sell and bridges you burn
The ties you compel and the abuse of concern
You know well the truth you’ll someday discern
Every action returns
Every action returns
Every action returns

Some would rather give than make you a thief
Digging deep to spare the benefit of belief
Some would rather spare us all the grief
Run you off with pitchforks just to get some relief

Overdrawn your balance at the bank of goodwill
Foreman’s had enough of your plundering the till
Just about everybody has had their fill
Of swallowing your sugar-coated poison pills

Of course you’ll be sorry when it’s all come apart
The movie’s end was clear from the start
Never really was all that smart
Mistaking meekness for weakness and craftiness for art
