When I was young I threw bullets in the fire,
believe me when I tell this truth,
but now those days are gone, lights have passed me by,
I cant disguise the way I feel, I feel, I feel, ... feel... feel...
in the tomb I held my bloom,
in this tomb I hold my bloom,
into this open flame but now those days are gone,
Ive learned to change my name, into this open flame
Cause theres bullets in the fire,
I believe I lost my head
will you ever know what was sent down before those things went crazy,
is everything I ever thought it would be,
as the puppets in my head have turned into hoods,
well please bring the rain, bring the rain, rain...
Hold me touch me baby as I thank you, you
Cause now those days are gone,
lights have passed me by.
My days were long taking shelter from the sky,
& theres a pulpit in my head thats turned
into a garden waiting for her lonely cry, cry...
Cause theres bullets in the fire,
I believe I lost my head
will you ever know what was sent down before those things went...
And heres my gods,
long before my head had turned to the blue sky speaking words
Reasons why,
all my time was spent making wine to bait the drunk
Id have to find now... now... now...
Wake up your memorys choking
Wake up your hands have forgotten - you,
Wake up your wings have been tied too long, too long
Wake up its time to go, Well its time to go
