Surgical Rewind Lyrics by Will Champlin

Borrowing Trouble

2014

[Verse 1]
I've been bleeding out for things I've yet to see
But I'm operating slow and patiently
And if all of the wounds have taken a toll on me
Is this freedom or anarchy?
Gotta walk into the dark to find the knife
Could have carved incisions into this life
Going back into time in the back of my mind
Looking for where I flatlined
Fighting the noise of my poison
Is it me I'm just avoiding?

[Chorus]
Time's running on me
I've only got so much room to breathe
I traded my soul in for a dream
I gave my fortune to The Man for a prophecy
And I can't believe I'm doing this time
Surgical, surgical, surgical rewind

[Verse 2]
So how did I get so caught up in this mess
I must be running against myself
Can't do no rest
Visions of grandeur are taking a toll on me
Is this freedom or anarchy?
When you're stuck and you're trying to break out of the mold
Only to find that the truth can leave you cold
I'm alone on a table willing and able to diagnose
I'm stopping a war machine of eternal protest now

[Chorus]
Time's running on me
I've only got so much room to breathe
I traded my soul in for a dream
I gave my fortune to The Man for a prophecy
And I can't believe I'm doing this time
Surgical, surgical, surgical rewind

[Bridge]
The animosity is growing now
Beating and pushing and running when I hit the ground
And I compose stuff until I get out my own world
That keeps holding, holding me down!
Bombs are arming and I'm running for my life now
Gunning me down, gunning me down, gunning me down
Gunning me down, gunning me down, running me down

And I know...

[Chorus]
Time's running on me
I've only got so much room to breathe
I traded my soul in for a dream, oh
I gave my fortune to The Man for a prophecy
And I can't believe I'm doing this time
Surgical, surgical, surgical rewind

[Outro]
I shake the pills off
Clean utensils
Send the post out
Watch his vitals
He's fading in and out of reality
Swaying all around, fighting gravity
