Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I see problems down the line

I know they're not mine

[Verse 2]

Don't wash the dirt off of your hands

You're doing the same mistake twice

Makin' the same mistake twice

[Verse 3]

Come on over

Don't be so caught up

It's not about compromisin'

[Verse 4]

I see problems down the line

I know they're not mine

I see darkness down the line

I know it's not mine

[Verse 5]

But don't wash the dirt off of your hands

You're doing the same mistake twice

Making the same mistake twice

[Verse 6]

Come on over

Don't be so caught up

It's all about colonizin'

[Verse 7]

I see problems down the line

I know they're not mine

[Verse 8]

Don't let the darkness eat you up

Don't let the darkness eat you up

Don't let the darkness eat you up

Don't let the darkness eat you up

[Verse 9]

Don't let the darkness eat you up

Don't let the darkness eat you up

Don't let the darkness eat you up

Don't let the darkness eat you up
