Lyrics - The Fires ep by James and the Wild Spirit
I heard them calling out your name
I heard them screaming desperate you, you
Iâve seen your struggle and your war
I know youâve heard it all before, before
When the words werenât right
I know youâve never got it right
I hope you get to see the light, the light
I know youâll get it right this time
I know youâve seen it all before, before
When the words werenât right
Right, right, right, right
this is the curse that you will break
this is the color of my eyes
try to find the words to define my life
but thereâs no words ringing in my head
give it one more try is all she said
fought through the worst of all my days
kicked over stones stumbled in this grave
thatâs where i buried my mistakes
cosâ this is no ordinary day
now all these words ringing in my head
they burn behind my eyes, well their bound to give me sight
all these words ringing in my head
they burn behind my eyes well they're bound to give me sight
all these words running in my head
give it one more try is all she said
now this curse had come along, tried to put me in the ground
but this is no ordinary day
i was sinking further down when those words came along
cosâ this is no ordinary day
all these words ringing in my head
they burn behind my eyes well they're bound to give me sight
all these words ringing in my head
give it one more try is all she said
there you go covered in dust and bones
you fell into the darkest tomb built it on your own
you tried to make her heart your home
she buried you and your throne
so where you step look under stones
you tread upon the snake and itâs over
and itâs haze settles in your eyes again
and your days fade into the night again
your left unto the darkest night
a desperate road your set to roam carries you from home
a fortune from a lover stoled weighs heavy in your soul
blinded by your dark disguise
when she laid her head to restÂ
the poison in your veins taken over
and itâs haze settles in your eyes again
and you say the sun is in your eyes again
and you say the wind blows in your eyes again
your left unto the darkest night
buried the knife deep into the night
tried to cover all your sins
pushed it further down til you could not hear a sound
what you failed to hear her say
sheâs given you everything
sheâs given you everything, everything, everything
the murder rest upon your heart
daylight closed behind your eyes
dust and blood were on your hands
the death of you forsaken hands
so leave it in the darkest night
and you say the sun is in your eyes again
and you say the wind blows in your eyes again
so leave it in the darkest night
i took the bullet from the words that you loaded in the gun
but you took aim straight away even though you know youâre done
i can only see light in your eyes
you say you donât belong, iâm standing at your door
every night, when all the lights are low
how was i supposed to know
pulled back the lever oh the danger when she speaks with silver tongue
golden deceiver, donât believe her she will leave you in the night, in the night
sheâs a high rising tide, rolling in, rolling out
sheâs a fire canât deny, she will ruin you by design, design
you say you donât belong, iâm standing at your door
every night when all the lights are low
how was i supposed to know
look where youâve landed
your heads filled up with doubt
with your heart bleeding out
your time is running out, out
you say you donât belong, iâm standing at your door
every night, when all the lights are low
how was i supposed to know
I am like a steel train running rails and driving stakes right through you & i
i took the time to tear us down, failed you in our darkest night
so i took the time to clear my mind, heavy in my tears i fight
oh, everything i know, this feeling in my heart i canât hold
oh, youâre the constant line
running through, i run behind
that youâre in front, in front of me
picking up the pieces where the dreams fell on the ground come with me tonight
gather up your troubled mind, harvest up your fears inside
oh, youâre alive and bold, a sight to behold
oh, youâre the constant line
running through, i run behind
that youâre in front, in front of me
i canât afford not to adore, youâre my constant line
iâve said it all before, iâll lay down before, cos youâre my constant line
oh, youâre the constant line
running through, i run behind
that youâre in front, in front of me
waking up for the first time
in your eyes i see my bloodline your heartâs on fire
breathing in for the first time
your lungs fill up with all the breathe
of heartâs desire, your heartâs on fire
oh youâre the rising sun
oh youâre my setting sun
oh may the love come down
that youâve found your way
Stepping out for the first time
the ground beneath comes to life at your feet
reaching out for the first time
in your arms i see my bloodline
your hearts on fire, this heartâs on fire
oh youâre the rising sun
oh youâre my setting sun
oh may the love come down
that youâve found your way
