Hunting/Haunting

Fires seem to fade when I decide
I've never been so cold
I've never lived my life on string or twine
(Come away my child)
We don't belong here
You didn't know
You didn't see
How many homes would shelter me

You live every word
Watch them change over time
They made up their minds when they drew the lines
It's not how we lived it
(We're falling down)

If I had to choose between the worst of all the things I never knew
Would I even have the strength to say
We're falling down
I've come to terms and
I've come to learn exactly where we all came from
Trust me my son, you can't believe a word they say

We've spent our shooting stars
Trying to get back all we have lost
I confess I couldn't tell you when the world
Got so fucking lost in time
Oh no, no, don't even try

(Tonight, and all of this time)
(That's the sound of freedom calling)
(Reload the guns)

You live every word
Watch them change over time
They made up their minds when they drew the lines
It's not how we lived it

If I had to choose between the worst of all the things I never knew
Would I even have the strength to say
We're falling down
I've come to terms and
I've come to learn exactly where we all came from
And you know you can't believe

We like to make ourselves believe we know the truth (but we can't)
Deny the truth that's growing deep inside of you
So we'll cast away our doubts along the way
