Fight or Flight

[Verse 1]
You get lost in the shade
Cast by all these thorns
That line up on the branch like a French brigade
Ready to storm

You saw the storm clouds coming in
From where you did stand
So you turned in your cards
You did not want that hand

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh
And this is ages old
Oh
We are weak and we are bold

[Chorus]
We fight or flight
Is there no common ground?
It can't be right
No, it can't be found

[Verse 2]
You come upon a woman
You follow her around the bend
You follow her quite closely
For she is not your friend

She hears you praying as the sky
Is getting dark
For it's darkness that unfolds us
Makes us wish for a braver heart

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh
And this is ages old
Oh
We are weak and we are bold

[Chorus]
We fight or flight
Is there no common ground?
It can't be right, no
It can't be found

[Verse 3]
So you go down to the water
You take the waves in your hands
And the water slips right through
No matter which way you stand

You know then that you
Cannot hold on to anything
For heartache is all
That the holding ever brings

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh
And this is ages old
Oh
We are weak and we are bold

[Chorus]
We fight or flight
Is there no common ground?
It can't be right
No, it can't be found
