We climbed up out onto the rocks
Watched the waves break into spray
Cold wind struck like electric shock
The sky turned to a dusky gray
And there beneath the stormy sky
We laughed aloud as the waves crashed higher
We climber back down across the beach
And built the base of our bonfire
We sacrifice our regrets to the crackling flame
Taste the salt air on your lips, you will never be the same
Plunge my hand into the fire, I swear I will feel no pain
Put yourself into the fire and you will never be the same
Past midnight and the moon is fading
A crescent dark against the stars
Drain the horn with the embers fading
Let darkness cover up our scars
And there inside your bloodshot eyes
I watched you cry a thousand tears
Black against the October sky
Into the fire we thrust our fears
We sacrifice our regrets to the crackling flame
Taste the salt air on your lips, you will never be the same
Plunge my hand into the fire, I swear I will feel no pain
Put yourself into the fire and you will never be the same
And as we turned to leave you asked me where I stand
And I told you someday I would die by my own hand
You were not surprised but still didn't know what to say
I laughed and whispered "Not today, no not today."
Not today, no not today.
Not today, no not today.
Not today, no not today.
Not today, no not today.
