Crosshairs

The Firegod

Release Date: 03/15/2019

Hot on the heels of single A Smile Away, Crosshairs is a five song EP dedicated to the aftermath of relationships gone wrong. Here you see The Firegod turning a corner lyrically, seeming to come to terms with solitude and no longer yearning the way he had on previous works. Musically, Crosshairs is up to The Firegod’s usual standards, weaving a texture of melody that form a backdrop to his melancholy words.

Lyrics

Let Me Go

Life can be a mystery

At times I never understood

Why the things that always happens on my watch

Leaves me feeling torn and blue

Let me go

Let me go

The curious come calling

Go on and chase them all away

There's nothing here left for you to see

Dust and dirt is all the same

Let me go and I’ll take just what I need

The scraps left on the table are enough to set me free

Let me go and I’ll be your setting sun

Stop and look no further

Before you know it I’ll be gone

Let me go

Let me go

Lines are drawn

Decisions made

Battles always take their toll

As the smoke clears right before the dawn

Answers will unfold

So just me go

Let me go

Cards left on the table

Hold or let it ride

Jury has its verdict

Let the innocent survive

So now that I got your attention will you please just hear me out

The end is soon upon us

Pen to paper

Do it now

Let me go

Let me go and I’ll take just what I need

The scraps left on the table are enough to set me free

Let me go and I’ll be your setting sun

Stop and look no further

Before you know it I’ll be gone

Let me go

Let me

Is it Just Me

With a wondering eye I can't say no

Your tears remind me how awful love can be

Or is it just me?

If a careless heart should light your day

Just close your eyes and walk away

Love is a disease

Or is it just me?

Lock your doors and close the shutters

Grab a broom and clear the clutter

Make no mistake

Love burns with just a spark

Love can be a menace to your heart

Caught up with a friend the other night

I was lost for words to make things right

Love's a scary scene

Or is it just me?

Her life at home was just a wreck

Angry words with no respect

Oh, love can be mean

Or is it just me?

Lock your doors and close the shutters

Grab a broom and clear the clutter

Make no mistake

Love burns with just a spark

Love can be a menace to your heart

Memories can lure you from your shelter

And leave you in a pile of past disasters

If a faithful heart is what you seek

Go pack your bags

Because we both agree

You wont find it here

So hard to believe

Or is it just me?

Or is it just me?

prefer to be alone

Living out of sequence

Sleeping on the floor all alone

Thoughts of you keep raging

Next thing I know I'm banging on your door

But I'm not here to complicate your morning

I’m not here to complicate your world

Because when it really gets down to it

I prefer to be alone

That smile of yours is tempting

But your eyes are telling me to go

You confuse me to the letter

I should know better then to hang on to your every word

But I'm not here to complicate your evening

I’m not here to complicate your home

But when it really gets down to it

I prefer to be alone

I'll agree there are days

There are nights that find me in a state of

Wondering if even now

If there's a way to change this course that I've begun

There's no way

There's no way

There’s no way

There’s no way

Living out of sequence

Sleeping on the floor all alone

Lost in the tranquility of chaos

Somehow it makes me want you even more

But I'm not here to complicate your evening

I'm not here to complicate your world

But when it really gets down to it

I prefer to be alone

Never Be Free of You

The moment I wake I'm in constant craving

Fragile at the thought of you

But now I can't seem to shake this feeling

Confused

What's a boy to do?

No, I'll never get away

I’ll never get away

I'll never be free of you

No, I'll never get away

I’ll never get away from you

I fear my days of being young and restless

Slowly coming to an end

My ageless dreams are being crushed to pieces over over again

No, I'll never get away

I’ll never get away

I'll never be free of you

No, I'll never get away

I’ll never get away from you

Confused and lost

I'm forced to chase this demon riding shotgun in my brain

But wait, I see a new coming attraction

Hope it doesn't end the same

The road to heaven is a constant changing journey that no one can foresee

It can flip the switch at a moments notice

Damn if it didn't happen to me

No, I'll never get away

I’ll never get away

I'll never be free of you

No, I'll never get away

I’ll never get away from you

No, I'll never get away

I’ll never get away

I'll never be free of you

No, I'll never get away

I’ll never get away from you

You Left Me Lonesome

I held onto you like you were the last girl alive

As I wrestled those memories that came crashing at night

Now my heart is so vacant

It’s hard to hang on

Because you left me lonesome

You left me down

There’s a chill in the air that's freezing my lungs

Any sliver of hope would taste so sweet on my tongue

But these walls that surround me are nailed to the ground

Because you left me lonesome

You left me down

There’s a sound my heart makes when it’s lonely

The same sound it made when you weren't around

The melody cries and the rhythm slows down

Because you left me lonesome

You left me down

The silence controls every space in my room

I stand lost at the alter like a brideless groom

Now these streets lay abandoned with not a soul to be found

Because you left me lonesome

You left me down

There’s a sound my heart makes when it’s lonely

The same sound it made when you couldn’t be found

The melody cries and the rhythm slows down

Because you left me lonesome

You left me down

Because you left me lonesome

Yeah, you left me down
