Before The Fire

I used to dance on a bear trap I used to sing into its jaws The cold steel and spring was a soundtrack To sharpen my teeth and my claws I manufactured my demons Before the assembly line I stared down on the production ground And marvel at my own design Before the fire I was a walking heart attack Before the fire Never thought of the end Now everything's gone And it's never coming back Everything's gone Everything's gone Gone Gone I took my innocence for granted The future belonged to the old Someday feels so far away And now is all that I can hope I used to live with an open mouth My ears were only for my words And any cautionary words fell on buckshot birds With a ten ton freedom of choice Before the fire I was a walking heart attack Before the fire Never thought it would end Now everything's gone I know it's never coming back Everything's gone Everything's gone Before the fire I was a walking heart attack Before the fire Never thought of the end Now everything's gone I know it's never coming back Everything's gone Everything's gone Before the fire I was a walking heart attack Before the fire Never thought of the end Now everything's gone I know it's never coming back Everything's gone Everything's gone Gone Gone Gone Gone Gone
