Running slow  like cold engines do
 On the hills  of bleak mornings through
 Streets are ready  to explode, but i won't die today...
 I sang of hymns  that once warmed my soul
 Old piano's  in wood floor halls
 A beauty shone  was my teacher and still today...
 I see your face  sometimes surrounded  by fire...
 I see your face  sometimes surrounded by fire...
I  once caught crickets  on a sunny day
 A matchbox open,  some got away
 Their wings were flying,  they were singing, we won't  die today...
 I see your face  sometimes surrounded  by fire...
 I see your face  sometimes surrounded by fire...
And  you shed tears  that made you feel whole
 Telling lies  about all you know
 If you climb down  from your 'sill you won't die today...
 Tracing patterns  all on your own
 Chasing limits  that'll do you harm
 Your eyes will open  once more and you won't die today...
 Play Chorus Chords
 Don't know how solid the lyrics are, i took one listen and jotted down what i suspected
 might be singing.
 Unfortunately some parts are hard to make out vocally, so they are subject to editing.
 Hope you enjoy anyway!
