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
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
