Like wildfire
It starts in my chest.
The silence grows louder
Ringing out in my head
I feel the earth shaking under my feet.
I feel the pressure building until I can`t breathe.
And it takes everything.
[Chorus]
It all spills out.
Reckless but honest words leave my mouth
Like kerosene on the flame of doubt.
I couldn`t make it right.
Alarms will sound
But it`s to late for holy water now.
Sooner or later the fire dies down,
Then I`ll open up my eyes.
[Verse]
And I`ll try to find the image of God
In mountains made of ash and clouds of smoke.
It`s fight or flight
Buried in my bones.
It`s fight or flight
That keeps my body whole.
[Chorus]
But I feel it break
With just one misstep down the fire escape,
And suddenly I am someone that prays.
A last minuet man of faith.
But leave behind
Miles and miles of jagged lines
Upon the surface of the divine.
I wish I could set them straight.
`Till it all spills out,
Reckless but honest words leave my mouth
Like kerosene on the flame of doubt.
I just couldn`t make it right.
Alarms will sound
But it`s too late for holy water now.
Sooner or later the fire dies down,
Then I`ll open up my eyes again.
