...And We Got So Close Lyrics by The Ready Aim Fire!

Strong Enough

2008

The streets spoke for us since we kept our mouths shut
And got lost in the black and gray
Our cigarettes lit the sky since the stars are all lies
But we'll be as dead as they are someday
So I've given up on running and screaming
Yeah, now I'm fighting back
And their lips taste just like wax
But I'm still melting, I'm still melting
And there are things I tell them I believe in
And then there are fears I don't dare say aloud
Even though the stars still die alone
At least they shine for years, all bright and proud
I thought I found truth in a beautiful woman
And our clothes would decorate the floor
But she said God told her that I'm wrong
And life is nothing like a song
You can't hide behind metaphors
Yeah, she dropped His name like they were just in the ladies room
Doing lines and chasing death
So I tried to catch up, I was still trying to catch up
Until I finally ran out of breath
And we were alone again
Yeah, we were alone again
It just follows us
Yeah, goddamn, it found us again
So come on, come on, come on
The truth is a satellite
So come on, come on, come on
It'll always be there, but we can try to leave it behind
So we tried to leave it behind, but you can never leave it behind
So it goes
Cuz we move and it moves with us
Just like you moved with me
So come on, come on, come on
Death is a satellite
So come on, come on, come on
We still tried to leave it, we still tried to leave it behind
And we got so close
Yeah, we got so close
Yeah, we got so close
So it goes
