Dodger

My life’s become a ritual of dodges luck and schemes
It’s like something comes of nothing
And so often so it seems
But I know if I fall
I must answer for it all
Backed by walls that echo my own lies
Choked by ropes of alibis
So I make a promise to myself
Don’t lose a moment of the day

All the times I stopped and tell myself I live a charmed life
Nothing phases me, I’m still alive and intuition makes me wise
So scam a quick solution, build a life on second chances
There’s an exit in all crises, a savior in all circumstances

My life’s become a ritual of dodges luck and schemes
It’s like something comes of nothing
And so often so it seems
But I know if I fall
I must answer for it all
Backed by walls that echo my own lies
Choked by ropes of alibis
So I make this promise to myself
Don’t lose a moment of the day

Well I don’t like to rationalize, conditions are consistent
I deceive responsibility, and back myself against the wall
Losing time I find I’ve got this sense of motion, forward motion
Growing up, falling down, never seemed so far off to the ground
