I guess it wasn't as bad as it sounds
We wore the embers like a crown,
As a reminder to remember
Things don't heat up until the sun goes down
From between the heat of passing cars,
Well things got ugly from the start
We saved some money from some crimes
And use it all to tattoo the scars
Let the story dilate
Mike stayed forty miles away,
Things weren't getting any better at his place
Over bail bonds and broken pores,
With solemn hearts and solid boards
Traversed the stairs to fade the memories,
Closed it up and locked the doors
So close but still haloed to crash the calm
It's only one night so what's the harm?
This apartment is no more haven than home
Let's flood the floors,
Come tomorrow we'll all be gone
I always dreamed but never would've thought
That five of us sifting through the ash
Would be the end result of too great a cost
We placed the call to Nashville to him
Cincinnati burned us down
The more I say these things out loud,
The more the words just twist around
So slowly find it strange
Young men with principles have a way of accumulating debts with ages
Replace the fiction while the story ignites the scene
We're thinking it's too much to ask for
While the flames ignite the dream
We're sinking and they're beginning to jettison the hopeful
I fear it's what I hoped for
I willed it and if so
It's from real
And it's my ship to sink with
It could be the drain of summer heat,
Fourth of July or enemies
Bad wiring, bad timing
It could be the weight of gravity
It could be a story that no one will ever believe
It could be a million things but please,
Right now we only need a place to sleep
So close but still haloed to crash the calm
It's only one night so what's the harm
Come sunrise those drinks won't keep you warm
It's up to you I could be here I could be gone
Things don't heat up until the sun goes down
