Through Fire
[Verse 1]
He said I’m leaving, but before I go
Spot me on a shot, I need a little somethin’ for the road
He left behind the only life he know
Tattered bag is all that’s left of all the things he ever owned
Every time is the last time, all the promises are damned lies
He’s cold and lonely but he can’t cry
When every single day he’s fighting just to try to stay alive
[Verse 2]
Another trip to the psych ward
Stayed up seven days just tryin to find out what his life is for
A wounded soldier in the drug war
Ship is lost at sea its been so long since he has seen the shore
Every time is the last time, doctor told him that he flat-lined
He’s cold and lonely but he can’t.
When every single day he’s fighting just to try to stay alive
[Pre-chorus]
He saw the truth for the first time
That he’s been doomed since the first line
That things would never be fine
Hittin’ rock bottom when the consequences caught up
A man appeared at the bedside
Maybe an angel but in disguise
An intervention of the divine
The boy said “I don’t wanna die”
The man just smiled and replied
[Chorus]
I’ve experienced the madness, I know just how you feel
I’ve traveled down the road to hell
But my wounds they all have healed
And I will walk with you through fire, but the journey starts today
And if you want to keep it kid
You better give it all away
[Verse 3]
The man’s solution opened up his eyes
Confronted with the choice of life or death the boy began to cry
You know its darkest just before the light
Broken like a glowstick now the boy could finally start to shine
He prayed this time would be the last time
He asked for guidance and he lived right
Been ninety days and a fortnight
He’s thankful for the chance that hes been given to rebuild his life
[Pre-chorus 2]
He got a call past midnight
A friend still livin’ on the sick side
The boy his one and only lifeline
Hittin rock bottom when the consequences caught up
The boy appeared at the bedside
Hes now a man, his eyes open wide
An intervention of the divine
His friend said “I don’t wanna die”
The man just smiled and replied
[Chorus]
I’ve experienced the madness, I know just how you feel
I’ve traveled down the road to hell
But my wounds they all have healed
And I will walk with you through fire, but the journey starts today
And if you want to keep it kid
You better give it all away
