Lyrics
I am a mission bell, ringing in the dark
gonna scare these crows, go tuck their heads in someone else’s yard
I got a heavy load, gonna lay it out
so if god ain’t home please tell me now before i kneel down
I am a liar’s game, I am a shorted fuse
I am the dirty water in the wishing well, and the coins you threw
I am a wrecking ball, I am a fighting chance
I am alive, that’s all that keeps me sometimes breathing
I am an oil spill, beautiful and not
I am the orange glow of the sun and the hill, I am one last shot
I am the asphalt kid, ruling the yellow lines
and if you’re trying to kill me gonna have to make it a harder try
I am the holy ghost, I am a pounding heart
I am an easy lover, even when this loving gets so damn hard
I am asleep i guess, until you come for me
out in the wilderness, in the dark i am lost, but i am almost free
I am a fighting chance, I am a wrecking ball, I am a pounding heart, cause I am alive that’s all
I am the water’s edge, I am the deepest end
I want a thousand things to be one more than a thousand
