bullets in the fire

Singer:rusted root

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 can't 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

i've learned to change my name

into this open flame

cause there's 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

& there's a pulpit in my head that's turned

into a garden waiting for her lonely cry

cry. cause there's bullets in the fire

i believe i lost my head

will you ever know what was sent down before those things went. and here's 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

i'd have to find now. now. now. wake up your memory's choking

wake up your hand's have forgotten - you

wake up your wings have been tied too long

too long

wake up it's time to go

well it's time to go.
