Fire on the porch on a summer's night
|
All of my things are there inside
|
Black smoke rise up, burn on burn higher
|
I smell leaves and burning tires
|
Dogs in the meadows barking wild
|
Blackbird rise up, tell me what have you done
|
|
I'm not drunk and I'm not sad
|
There's nothing inside that I want back
|
Let me touch your lips, let me see where you're at
|
Do you wonder how I am tonight
|
Then don't lose time looking in my eyes
|
Not every tear means you're gonna cry
|
|
From the bottom of my heart
|
Comes a cold dark feeling
|
There is nothing but dust
|
In the layers I'm peeling
|
|
From the bottom of my heart
|
Beats a rattling drum
|
Marching back up the steps
|
Into the rays of the sun
|
|
Under crushing skies of grays
|
Paralyzed with phantom pains
|
Before this room became just a place
|
Where I just sleep through endless days
|
Spinning webs and carving names
|
Where thoughts break up, exploding in space
|
|
But I once crossed a quarter mile
|
Through black pools of razor wire
|
And cut through the steel
|
with the edge of a file
|
While singing rhaphsodies in stride
|
Hellbent and dignified
|
Now my time has come
|
Who you fooling and why?
|
|
From the bottom of my heart
|
Comes a cold dark feeling
|
There is eminent death
|
to the promise I'm keeping
|
|
From the bottom of my heart
|
Comes an army of one
|
Marching back up the steps
|
Into the rays of the sun
|
|
Pale-faces and hollowed eyes
|
Buried under ruptured skies
|
Not every smile
|
means I'm laughing inside
|
Two-face and compromised
|
I've enraptured you with lies
|
Everything means nothings
|
and tonight everything is mine
|
|
From the bottom of my heart
|
Comes a cold dark feeling
|
I have buried so much
|
In the layers I'm peeling
|
|
From the bottom of my heart
|
A battle will come
|
Marching back up the steps
|
Into the rays of the sun
|
|
From the bottom of my heart
|
Comes a cold dark feeling
|
Wrapped around tight
|
With no sign of leaving
|
|
From the bottom of my heart
|
A ballad is sung
|
Through a whisper she comes
|
Into the rays of the sun
|
|
