The Only Fire - Motherfolk

Taught to fear my God

Then that fear became a cancer

And I take medicine

To destroy the sin

But I know, in the end it’s killing me

I watched my family fall apart

My father’s liquor was his crutch

But he still taught me well

That this world, it is a Hell

And we’re all damned to the hell of living

With my heart in my hands

I am ready again

I am a broken man, I am

'Cause I’ve come to accept

That the blood that you bled

It was bled and sent for the likes of me

Should I work myself to death?

Who gives a damn about my rest

And I’ll leave the divine to better men than I

I’ll just take what I can find anymore

So I left you knocking at the door

I just don’t feel it anymore

The only fire I feel has been burning at my heels

And it’s real

I feel like I’ve been sinking

With my heart in my hands

I am ready again

I am a broken man, I am

'Cause I’ve come to accept

That the blood that you bled

It was bled and sent for the likes of me
