Heads Up, Hearts Down - I Fight Dragons

Take a number, dear

Wait your turn, and don’t get out of line

Everything you fear

Paint it black

In the back of your mind

You just go on breathing

Repeating

Heads up, hearts down

Steady as she goes

Don’t break step

Don’t make a sound

Heads up, hearts down

No one ever knows

What started this exodus

Onward bound

Your composure slips

Twenty-two and nothing left to do

But resign to this

Bonafide Pilgrim Pride

Tried and true

So you don’t question

This lesson

I try to find my strength inside the sound

But I can’t fight the darkness all around

I’m bleeding 'til I drown
