Steps Ascending

Thursday

Steps ascend to a loaded gun

The scent of mathces hangs in the air

A lit on flickers out in a heart beat

We don't want to see this:

A flash of light that's letting go of an empty bullet case

By the time it hits the ground he's out of reach

(Let go, let go)

Out reach

(Let go, let go)

Out reach

(Let go, let go)

out reach

(let go, let go)

Out reach

(Let go, let go)

(Out of reach)

The wolves are closing in

There's no room left to make amends

Do you remember when we'd fly that kite so high?

All the time we've wasted

(Wasted)

Spent fighting

(Fighting)

It's blood full of our regret

All the time we've wasted

(Wasted)

Spent fighting

(Fighting)

It's blood and it's running down the stairs

Freeze the frame

To the gun shot and the hole it makes

(A spinning bullet waits in the middle

There's no way to stop it

It will surely hit the mark)

You can try to understand but i'm giving up

Giving up

Giving up

They synapse fires, it's right on time, but i'm giving up

Giving up

(Giving up)

Giving up

Giving up

Giving up

This should always stay out of reach

(Let go, let go)

Out reach

(Let go, let go)

Out reach

(Let go, let go)

out reach

(let go, let go)

Out reach

(Let go let go)

The wolves are closing in

There's no room left to make amends

Do you remember when we'd fly that kite so high?

All the time we've wasted

(Wasted)

Spent fighting

(Fighting)

It's blood full of our regret

All the time we've wasted

(Wasted)

Spent fighting

(Fighting)

It's blood and it's running down the stairs

I ran down the stairs and into the garden

Put both my hands into the soil

In the spring you will bloom

Like her heart through the blouse in the back of teh ambulance

As it turned and turned in the streets

(Out of reach, out of reach)
