Dead As History

I made a big mistake with you tonight

The way our insides burned like moths flying to light



As the sun begins to set

I cannot find my way back

Walking with my eyes on fire

I never found the payback



We'll never feel like anything is wrong

The tragedy is not just our own sad song

Walls we have built and bridges we have burned

Deeper the hole the farther we feel from harm



I know the games we play

Give us a way

A way for us to see if we still feel alive



Time is always right behind us

Like the lamb under the gun

I'll hold on to this forever

That is never long enough
