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
