Alkaline Trio – Fire Down Below lyrics

It's been a lifetime since I last confessed to you
And I've had little trouble concealing the truth
I've been nothing but lies and deceitful
Here's the church open the people there for me
Apologies have taken on a whole new meaning now

You've waited your whole life for this
Beg for mercy and forgiveness
Nothing up above but darkness
And fire down below
Me and my friends waiting on your soul

It's been a long time since I've last had words with you
Not sure what I see now to tell you the truth
About this feeling weighing heavily
On my mind and chest cavity
Don't pray for me one day you'll find
I'm sleeping in my urn feeling just fine

You've waited your whole life for this
Beg for mercy and forgiveness
Nothing up above but darkness
And fire down below
Me and my friends waiting on your soul

Fix me a drink
Tell me a story
Take my head off
These gut wrenching words
Made my mistakes
My guilt admissions
Please pass a plate
And the ammunition

You've waited your whole life for this
Beg for mercy and forgiveness
Nothing up above but darkness
And fire down below
Me and my friends waiting on your soul

You've waited your whole life for this
Beg for mercy and forgiveness
Nothing up above but darkness
And fire down below
Me and my friends waiting on your soul

You've waited your whole life for this
