Steps ascend to a loaded gun
the scent of matches hangs in the air
a lit one flickers out in a heartbeat
we don't want to see this
flash of light thats letting go
of an empty bullet case, but by the time it hits the ground
hes out of reach
out of reach
(let go)
out of reach
(let go)
out of reach

the walls are closing in
theres no room left to make amends but
do you remember when we'd fly that kite so high
all the time we've wasted
spent fighting
we'll burn in the fire of our regrets
all the time we've wasted
spent fighting
it's blood
and its running down the stairs

freeze the frame
between the gunshot and the hole it makes
spinning bullet hangs 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
the synapses fire is right in time
i'm giving up
giving up
giving up
this should always stay out of reach
out of reach
(let go)
out of reach
(let go)
out of reach

the walls are closing in
theres no room left to make amends but
do you remember when we'd fly that kite so high
all the time we've wasted
spent fighting
we'll burn in the fire of our regrets
all the time we've wasted
spent fighting
its blood; its 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 the ambulance
as it turned and it turned in the streets
just one more time won't you come back to me
as it turned its red lights
you were turning into
red roses
red roses
red roses
red roses

i'm not giving up
This song is from the album "War All The Time".
