before the fire

Rival Sons

I used to dance on a bear trap
I used to sing into it s jaws
The cold steel and spring was the soundtrack
To sharpen my teeth and my claws
I manufacture my demons
Before the assembly line
I stared down on the production ground
A mind full of 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 belong to the old
Someday feel 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 word took a buckshot
As they pretend to 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
