Lyrics
Heat is what reminds me how we felt
So close, so close that we could smell the earth
Cheating death I made my way back home to find
something's out of place
No one's left, they died for me
Now something's out of place
I think it's me
Now I don't see the same I've found my fears and pain
I think it's me
At night I'm hearing things,
it's just the wind- I can't sleep again
Lost, I lost a piece of me today
Tears, the tears have all been spent,
I have none left to cry
The smell, our friends were burning in the field
Eyes, frightened wide and blinking in the steam
Cheating death I made my way back home to find
something's out of place
No one's left, they died for me
Now something's out of place
I think it's me
Now I don't see the same I've found my fears and pain
I think it's me
At night I'm hearing things,
it's just the wind- I can't sleep again
