Former Fires Lyrics by Them Hills

Rad Disguise

2013

Being born and grown has left us feeling pretty low
So we drink and try not to think so much
A lifetime of shame for all the bad moves that you made
But there’s escape yet, when we get wasted
'Cause tonight, we’ll take whatever it takes to feel alright
They’re our lives, and it’s our right to fuck 'em up
When we were young and dumb, we worshipped gods of having fun
We weren’t afraid yet, and life seemed endless
We’d risk our lives for dreamy days and magic nights
And if we died, well... we’d get it right next time
'Cause tonight, we’ll take whatever it takes to feel alright
They’re our lives, and it’s our right to fuck 'em up
So we say, party #1 in the U.S.A
They’re our minds and it’s hard to turn 'em off
'Cause the screaming never stops
But there’s a million different ways
That you can dull the pain
At least for a while...
How do we get by?
How do we get by?
Need a better high
We need a better high
So now we’re back to where we started from
And to get by we, we anesthetize
Still risk our lives just trying to find a
Spark of former fires
And if we die well...
We’ll get it right next time
'Cause tonight, we’ll take whatever it takes to feel alright
They’re our lives, and it’s our right to fuck 'em up
So we say, just give us something to make it through the day
They’re our minds
And they’re easy to ignore
'Cause we’ve heard it all before
If it hurts too much to think
Just have another drink
And you’ll be fine
