[Verse 1]
The wallpaper\u2019s peeling in Room 22
And the dial tone is screaming as I\u2019m calling for you
“Hey baby,” I whisper, “I\u2019m doing just fine”
While I\u2019m staring at the stains and the cheap red wine
You\u2019re crying for home, and you\u2019re begging for peace
While I\u2019m praying for silence and a moment\u2019s release.
[Pre-Chorus]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I tell you I\u2019m chasing a desert-born dream
But I\u2019m drowning in shadows and a silent scream
I don\u2019t tell you about the blood on the floor
Or the way that I\u2019m shaking as I look at the door.
[Chorus]
So keep your light burning, keep your heart in the sun
While I\u2019m paying the price for the things that I\u2019ve done!
I\u2019ll love you forever, through the fire and the rain
But I\u2019m carrying a weight that I can\u2019t quite explain!
It\u2019s a long way to heaven, and I\u2019ve missed the last turn
Just a candle in the window while the bridges all burn!
[Bridge]
(Spoken Word – To the audience, not into the phone)
“She thinks I\u2019m a hero. She thinks I\u2019m just wild. She doesn’t know about the old man\u2026 Every time I close my eyes, I hear the sirens. Every time I breathe, I taste the gasoline and the guilt.”
(Back to the phone)
“I gotta go now, baby. I’ll see you\u2026 in the stars.”
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[Outro]
I hung up the phone and I grabbed for the keys
Falling down on my scarred and my dirty knees
I\u2019m back in the saddle, I\u2019m back in the cage
The final chapter on the final page!
I\u2019m dropping the hammer! I\u2019m crossing the line!
