A Fire I kept Lyrics by Animal Liberation Orchestra

Tangle of Time

0

Standing like a soldier in a bulletproof vest
Trying to pick the lock on a treasure chest
Caught up in the fire of an [animal's?] quest
Before his eyes
When he was a kid, he caught his first glimpse
Though nothing in the world could prepare him for this
When he realized what he saw was the mast of a ship
He almost cried
This is the reason
The reason we came to find
This is the reason
When in all this time
In the back of my mind
There's a fire I kept
With the hope that somehow
We might all make it back
On a rolling current pointing you
Away from all you thought was true
Holding your breath until you fall right through
Was a voice in my head from when I was a kid
Told me to do and I did what it said
I wanted to run but I found in the end
That you can't run from your heart
Your heart
Pieces of a puzzle on the living room floor
Know that once a upon a time there was a door
That opened up to places that you once adored
In your dreams
Pieces of a puzzle playing hide-and-go-seek
Hiding with the rags under the kitchen sink
Someone's in the room but you don't make a peep
You hear them say
This is the reason
The reason we came to find
This is the reason
When in all this time
In the back of my mind
There's a fire I kept
With the hope that somehow
We might all make it back
On a rolling current pointing you
Away from all you thought was true
Holding your breath until you fall right through
Was a voice in my head from when I was a kid
Told me to do and I did what it said
I wanted to run but I found in the end
That you can't run
Was a voice in my head from when I was a kid
Told me to do and I did what it said
I wanted to run but I found in the end
That you can't run from your heart
From your heart
From your heart
From your heart (x8)
