Through The Night And Back Again

(album: Feed The Flames - 2014)

Mornings like this I feel like leaving
Though I'll have to hollow out my heart
I'm scraping out the insides of a pumpkin
Paint a twisted face and carve it out
Paint a twisted face and carve it out

Dress it up like someone else's nightmare
Candle flickering alive inside
And now I'll keep it scowling on the doorstep of my love
So others are afraid to go inside
So others are afraid to go inside

I've tried hard, oh darling
To keep the balance too
But it's not me, it's you
Who's kicking us back and forth like this

Cold nights like this I feel like staying
In the darkness and the comfort of my cave
There's something there for every little daydream
A spark that flickers up and turns to flame
A spark that flickers up and turns to flame

If you wanna fight me there then fight me
We can walk ten paces then turn
But if you want me dead you'll just have to shoot me through
Cause I would rather die than see you in pain
I would rather die than see you in pain

I've tried hard, oh darling
To keep the balance too
But it's not me, it's you
Who's kicking us back and forth like this
Tripping up back and forth like this
Slipping up back and forth like this
Kicking us back and forth like this

With the pills
And the falls
And the thrills
Of seeing it all
Through the night
I'm back again

The pills
And the falls
And the kills
Of seeing it all
Through the night
I'm back again
Through the night
I'm back again

Mornings like this I feel like leaving
Though I'll have to pick apart my brain
Like a flock of crows upon a scarecrow
If he could raise his arms they'd fly away
If he could raise his voice they'd fly away

I've tried hard, oh darling
To keep the balance too
But it's not me, it's you
Who's kicking us back and forth like this

I've tried hard, oh darling
To keep the balance too
But it's not me, it's you
Who's kicking us back and forth like this
Tripping up back and forth like this
Slipping up back and forth like this
Kicking us back and forth like this

With the pills
And the falls
And the thrills
Of seeing it all
Through the night
I'm back again

The pills
And the falls
And the kills
Of seeing it all
Through the night
I'm back again
Through the night
I'm back again
