lyrics

I watched the sun burn up my pillow
I didn’t know it could roll so slow
Hang like the cherry from your fingers out the window
Playing with fire

Judgment day, hanging like a tightrope
Hounds to the left, halos to the right
Making bets, taking names
I’m hiding in the corner
Hope they don’t remember mine

I once was lost, but now I’m nowhere
I once was blind, but now I’m blinder
I guess sometimes I could be a little kinder

I watched the flame burn down my castle
I didn’t know it could go so fast
Fall like the cherry from your fingers to the pillow
Playing with fire

Judgment day, hanging like a tightrope
Hounds to the left, halos to the right
And they’re making bets, and they’re taking names
I’m hiding in the back room
Hope they don’t remember mine

So pick your fights, and win your battles
We haven’t much road left to travel
Isn’t it scary?
It isn’t scary unless you’re scared of it
