Back to the Fire - JT Music

The Winter is killer, causing my blood to run cold

Just like the icicles I can feel crystallize in my soul

I find the numbness a comfort because it’s all that I know

If one description could fit me, it’d be abominable

When I lost my fire, the fever to follow was awfully fierce

Freezing my arctic heart in an armored locker, not even arson could pierce

I got a disease, operating like a machine, but forgot — for what was I geared?

I became a robot when the cold dropped Sub-Zero, arteries shot full of serum,

as I’m

Tossed into the ring, not one applaud or a cheer

Probably cause no audience wanted to watch me faced off with a mirror

I had to weaponize Edward Hyde whenever my Doctor Jekyll would not volunteer

Putting me on both sides of the conflict, either way, all of us profit tears

Not every hero keeps so clean-cut, no cap — I’m better off with a beard

Stark is the contrast in between us, here comes a trigger warning — cover your

ears

Lookin' like a storm on the forecast, not sure that’s really what I wanted to

hear

With a Civil War on my doorstep, it’s a little late for any Paul to Revere,

hollerin'

Winter isn’t coming, Winter is already here

The weather from which I’ve been running is nigh, the sky no longer so clear

My past caught up with me, knocked me off of the wagon onto my rear

How can I trust the function of my compass when it was corrupted with fear?

What have I lost?

Nothing but years, what did it cost?

All that was dear

Which I thought would’ve thawed my conscience, it did not — it just disappeared

Like a wolf running from his hunger, when another more cunning, hunter is near

Cause a bark and a bite will not win a fight if you’re not holdin' onto a spear

Which one am I becomin'?

I caught the cold, because

The Winter’s been so long, I got no spark left in my lighter

Now I feel nothing, but I need something to guide me back to the fire

Cause if a man can’t change his stars, he can, damn sure, change his stripes

When nightfall paints the world all black and white, bring the fire back to life

Sleeper agent reawaken when his peaceful dream is shaken

Free of reason, fleeting patience, seething anger feeding hatred

Seekin' to find the wrong in the right, «sweepin' the leg is part of the fight»

I’ve become a hostage of the monster inside me, I’m just along for the ride

Thought I was dead?

Forgotten behind?

Fallen, left in the gutter to die?

Dropped my guard and I got disarmed, southpaw now, but I’ll knock out your

lights

Take off my face, put on a disguise, I don’t wear capes, I’m wanted for crimes

You do this all day?

I run it all night, gone is the Winter, but not in my mind

Split in half, which half is talking?

I could be set off any second — watch it

Shatter your defenses, shed that shield you brought, or get sent back home on it

Matters not if I happen to want it, I’m on this path and I have to walk it

Navigating while divided pilots fight to drive my mental cockpit

It’s an unholy road ahead, but I’m already damned, I’ve broken bread

With both of the devils on my shoulders growing heavy with the sins I won’t

confess

So sever regret — it’s said and done, but remember to dread, what’s yet to come

Forever the steps I take will set the pace that my amends are meant to run

Better protect your wings, I was left with none, when I flew too high,

and they met the sun

Fell from Cloud Nine into Hell’s Ninth Circle, a permanent resident I’ve become

Another one of them fallen angels, all of our halos broken

We share despair, spare your prayers, god ain’t savin' no one

The soulless soldier has only been shown the coldest shoulders

I’ll go unthanked for my service, I’m takin' no more orders

Had enough of playin' dead, now rover’s sick of rollin' over

Still some tricks to be taught, even if the god is older

The Winter’s been so long, I got no spark left in my lighter

Now I feel nothing, but I need something to guide me back to the fire

Cause if a man can’t change his stars, he can, damn sure, change his stripes

When nightfall paints the world all black and white, bring the fire back to life

Two wolves are battling inside us all

So who will answer when the wild calls?

The one you feed won’t need a fire while

The one denied is hungrier, becoming a survivor

Crying fuck it all — wanna see my dirty laundry aired out?

Nothing left to hide, might as well let my hair down

The match is set, yet there’s nothing to strike

I guess the past is all I got left to light

The Winter’s been so long, I got no spark left in my lighter

Now I feel nothing, but I need something to guide me back to the fire

Cause if a man can’t change his stars, he can, damn sure, change his stripes

When nightfall paints the world all black and white, bring the fire back to life
