Bullets In The Fire Lyrics - Singles - Rusted Root

When I was young, I threw bullets in the fire 

Believe me when I tell this truth 

But now those days are gone, lights have passed me by 

I can't disguise the way I feel, I feel, I feel, feel, feel 

In the tomb, I held my bloom 

In this tomb, I hold my bloom 

Into this open flame but now those days are gone 

I've learned to change my name, into this open flame 

'Cause there's bullets in the fire 

I believe I lost my head 

Will you ever know what was sent down 

Before those things went crazy 

Is everything I ever thought it would be 

As the puppets in my head have turned into hoods 

Well please bring the rain, bring the rain, rain 

Hold me, touch me baby, as I thank you, you 

'Cause now those days are gone, lights have passed me by 

My days were long taking shelter from the sky, sky 

And there's a pulpit in my head that's turned 

Into a garden waiting for her lonely cry, cry 

'Cause there's bullets in the fire 

I believe I lost my head 

Will you ever know what was sent down 

Before those things went 

And here's my Gods, long before my head had turned 

To the blue sky speaking words 

Reasons why all my time was spent making wine to bait the drunk 

I'd have to find now, now, now 

Wake up, your memory's choking 

Wake up, your hand's have forgotten you 

Wake up, your wings have been tied too long, too long yeah 

Wake up, it's time to go, well it's time to go
