Kristoffer Manzelli & the Gods of Rock - Hangfire

Can you take me to a different land
Back in time to a place where I didn't understand
When my time was spent dazed
In the place where I was raised
The ghosts from my youth
Lost somewhere between perspective and truth
I'm sinkin' in
Gettin' hung up on those might have beens

Why am I always tryin' to pull that trigger time and time again, Why do I try?
When that hangfire round keeps takin' me back to where I began, Just spinnin' my wheels
And I'm runnin' out of love from all the love that I can take, Broken and beaten
And all those desperate hearts I left broken in my wake, They deserved more
You know I can't write 'em now like I did way back then, Though I keep fakin'
They say the sword is tough but I gotta give it to the hand, And I keep runnin'
And I may sing about that place every now and again, Openin' ol wounds
But that hangfire life it left me hanging by a strand

Desperate lies
Left shaking my fist at the skies
Way passed late
Never meant to tip the hands of fate
Wasted time
Hung up on memories lost in my prime
The risks I've taken
My soul's worn-down and shaken

Why am I always tryin' to pull that trigger time and time again, Why do I try?
When that hangfire round keeps takin' me back to where I began, Just spinnin' my wheels
And I'm runnin' out of love from all the love that I can take, Broken and beaten
And all those desperate hearts I left broken in my wake, They deserved more
You know I can't write 'em now like I did way back then, Though I keep fakin'
They say the sword is tough but I gotta give it to the hand, And I keep runnin'
And I may sing about that place every now and again, Openin' ol wounds
But that hangfire life it left me hanging by a strand

Clock's runnin' down
Drownin' in the shadow of this ghost town
Selfish dream
Chokin' so bad I can't even scream
The secrets I've kept
The reasons I have not slept
Is this my life?
My failures still cut like a knife

Why am I always tryin' to pull that trigger time and time again, Why do I try?
When that hangfire round keeps takin' me back to where I began, Just spinnin' my wheels
And I'm runnin' out of love from all the love that I can take, Broken and beaten
And all those desperate hearts I left broken in my wake, They deserved more
You know I can't write 'em now like I did way back then, Though I keep fakin'
They say the sword is tough but I gotta give it to the hand, And I keep runnin'
And I may sing about that place every now and again, Openin' ol wounds
But that hangfire life it left me hanging by a strand

But that hangfire life it left me hanging by a strand
But that hangfire life it left me hanging by a strand
But that hangfire life it left me hanging by a strand
But that hangfire life it left me hanging by a strand
