Steps Ascending Lyrics

Steps Ascending lyrics

steps ascend to a loaded gun. the scent of matches hangs in the air (a lit one
flickers out in a hearbeat). we don't want to see this: a flash of light that's
letting go of an empty bullet case, by the time it hits the ground, he's out of
reach. let go. the wolves are closing in. there's no room left to make amends.
do you remember when we'd fly that kite so high? all the time we've wasted,
spent fighting, will burn in the fire of our regrets all the time we've wasted,
spent fighting, it's blood and it's running down the stairs. freeze the frame
between the gun shot and the hole it makes. a spinning bullet waits in the
middle. there's no way to stop it, it will surely hit the mark. you can try to
understand but I'm giving up. the synapse fires, it's right in time. I'm giving
up. this should always stay out of reach I ran down the stairs and into the
garden, put both my hands into the soil. in the spring, you will bloom, like
her heart, through the blouse, in the back of the ambulance, as it turned and
turned in the streets (just one more turn won't you come back to me) as it
turned on its red lights, you were turning into red roses but I'm not giving
up.
