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
