I guess it wasnât as bad as it sounds.
We wore the embers like a crown,
as a reminder to remember
things donât heat up until the sun goes down.
From between the heat of passing cars,
well things got ugly from the start.
We saved some money from some crimes
and use it all to tattoo the scars.
Let the story dilate
Mike stayed forty miles away,
things werenât getting any better at his place.
Over bail bonds and broken pores,
with solemn hearts and solid boards.
Traversed the stairs to fade the memories,
closed it up and locked the doors.
So close but still haloed to crash the calm
Itâs only one night so whatâs the harm?
This apartment is no more haven than home.
Letâs flood the floors,
come tomorrow weâll all be gone.
I always dreamed but never wouldâve thought
that five of us sifting through the ash
would be the end result of too great a cost.
We placed the call to Nashville to him
Cincinnati burned us down.
The more I say these things out loud,
the more the words just twist around.
So slowly find it strange
young men with principles have a way of accumulating debts with ages.
Replace the fiction while the story ignites the scene.
Weâre thinking itâs too much to ask for
while the flames ignite the dream.
Weâre sinking and theyâre beginning to jettison the hopeful.
I fear itâs what I hoped for.
I willed it and if so
itâs from real
And itâs my ship to sink with.
It could be the drain of summer heat,
Fourth of July or enemies.
Bad wiring, bad timing.
It could be the weight of gravity.
It could be a story that no one will ever believe.
It could be a million things but please,
right now we only need a place to sleep.
So close but still haloed to crash the calm.
Itâs only one night so whatâs the harm.
Come sunrise those drinks wonât keep you warm.
Itâs up to you I could be here I could be gone
things donât heat up until the sun goes down.
