Should I leave should I stay?
I've longed for a new way
I've got loans at bay, kin at stake growing old,
Sometimes I feel, what's it all for?
Get a rope and tie me up
Coz if I walk out this door, I fear I might be gone.
To this world that's calling me, to live edge of the river,
Sitting here on the fence thinking what the fireworks are for?
All day I read and pray to the lord
Then this man breaks into my walls,
My knees are weak but he won't stop calling my name,
Out of the blue he leaves the world in my hands,
My true nature, has forgotten me,
I wonder how much of this breath I take in is still my own
Remind me again, what are the fireworks for?
Was it me back in the day with my sock up high slaying ghosts alone?
My old man made me believe I'm a firestone
Cut through the winds when I rode the horse like a rolling stone
Now I barely walk out the door, so what are the fireworks for?
Sold me freedom, sold my hours
This is gold I've seen the warning light
All my reasons, all my powers
Strip me open, I'm barely a bone.
Too many go out this way, so what are the fireworks?
