Steps Ascending

Steps ascend to a loaded gun The scent of matches hangs in the air A lit on flickers out in a heart beat We don't want to see this, A flash of light that's letting go of an empty bullet case By the time it hits the ground he's out of reach (Let go, let go) Out reach (Let go, let go) Out reach (Let go, let go) out reach (let go, let go) Out reach (Let go, let go) (Out of reach) The wolves are closing in There's no room left to make amends Do you remember when we'd fly that kite so high? All the time we've wasted (Wasted) Spent fighting (Fighting) It's blood full of our regret All the time we've wasted (Wasted) Spent fighting (Fighting) It's blood and it's running down the stairs Freeze the frame To the gun shot and the hole it makes (A spinning bullet waits 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 They synapse fires, it's right on time, but i'm giving up Giving up (Giving up) Giving up Giving up Giving up This should always stay out of reach (Let go, let go) Out reach (Let go, let go) Out reach (Let go, let go) out reach (let go, let go) Out reach (Let go let go) The wolves are closing in There's no room left to make amends Do you remember when we'd fly that kite so high? All the time we've wasted (Wasted) Spent fighting (Fighting) It's blood full of our regret All the time we've wasted (Wasted) Spent fighting (Fighting) It's blood and it's 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 turned in the streets (Out of reach, out of reach) Just one more turn, won't you come back to me? (Out of reach, out of reach) As it turned on its red lights (Out of reach, out of reach) You were turning into red roses Red roses Red roses Red roses But I'm not giving up --- Steps Ascending - Thursday
