Let's Ride
The Firegod
Release Date: 04/08/2013
Let's Ride pushes The Firegod’s boundaries further than he has ever gone before. It is more heartfelt, more emotional, more soulful, than anything he has ever done. And yet, it never loses the simplicity that is a man and his guitar. It never loses the gritty DIY aesthetic that is The Firegod's hallmark. There is no gloss or fake sheen over these revealing melodies. It is simply an audiophilic treat.

Lyrics
Swerving to You
Wherever I go
Whoever I run to
It’s never gonna be the same
Whatever I do
Whatever I become, maybe
It’s never gonna be the same, no
Without you
Without you, yeah
Whoever I find
Whatever I decide to do
It’s never gonna be the same
Whoever I follow though shallow and hollow
It’s never gonna be the same, no
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
With every hour that's slipping away
The truth is I'll never get to see you again
But given the chance
If one chance I’ll get
I’ll do the things that you'll never forget
With every hour that's slipping away
The truth is I'll probably never see you again
But I promise you this if
You give me my due
At the end of the day you'll find me swerving to you
Tit for tat
You know I'm better than that
You wont find me hiding in the corner with my head in the sand
If green is go
Let’s get this show on the road
But somehow I just don't think that you want me here anymore
I just don't think that you want me here anymore
I just don't think that you want me here anymore
I just don't think that you want me here anymore
I just don't think that you want me here anymore
With every hour that's slipping away
The truth is I'll never get to see you again
But given the chance
If one chance I get
I’ll do the things that you'll never forget
With every hour that's slipping away
The truth is I'll probably never see you again
But I promise you this
If you give me my due
At the end of the day you'll find me swerving to you
Swerving to you
You’ll find me swerving to you
Something New
Frozen in time with this cold state of mind
I try to escape but no one appears to show me the way
Well this fog in my wine tastes like you over time
It’s cause for debate
The argument sways
It’s time for a change
Let’s go for a change
There's no rhyme or reason why these feelings always take control
Be it right or just treason
Because sometimes I think I'm safer on my own
I'm not settling down
No, I’m not thinking about putting down some roots
I’m just looking around
Maybe I’ll find me something new
Not a day goes by when something new catches my eye
The work now begins
The blood in my veins start to heat up again
But never never never give me cause to commit
Oh never never never will I ever admit its done
It starts to unravel
My feet hit the gravel
It’s no longer fun
There's no rhyme or reason why these feelings always take control
Be it right or just treason
Because sometimes I think I'm safer on my own
I'm not settling down
No, I’m not thinking about putting down some roots
I’m just looking around
Maybe I’ll find me something new
I'm not settling down
No, I’m not thinking about putting down some roots
I’m just looking around
Maybe I’ll find me something new
Frozen in time with this cold state of mind
I try to escape but no one appears to show me the way
Well this fog in my wine tastes like you over time
It’s cause for debate
The argument sways
It’s time for a change
Let’s go for a change
Illuminate My Sky
Won't you just hold me
Won't you just come and settle me down
I need you beside me to calm these waters before I drown
I want you to see me
See me for what I really am
Not this disappearing act disguised as a man
I'll wrap my arms around the way you love me
And never lose this grip I have on you
I'll take each day and revel in your thunder
And patiently wait for your lightning to illuminate my sky
Won't you just hold me
Won't you just come and settle me down
I need you beside me to calm these waters before I drown
I want you to see me
See me for what I really am
Not this disappearing act disguised as a man
I'll wrap my arms around the way you love me
You love me
And never lose this grip I have on you
Never lose this grip on you
I'll take each day and revel in your thunder
And patiently wait for your lightning to illuminate my sky
I'll wrap my arms around the way you love me
You love me
And never lose this grip I have on you
Never lose this grip on you
I'll take each day and revel in your thunder
And patiently wait for your lightning to illuminate my sky
Criminal
We wait, then we take
We build, then we break
Some will wait a lifetime for what some find in a day
We rush to commence
Then we rush to dispense of the baggage we accumulate
It sometimes don't make sense
Sometimes think that we are criminal
They can't tell what we're up to
We take cover in the thought that maybe
We are not what they think of us
Might be dancing in the moonlight
Might be fighting for our dear lives
But they'll never know what will become of us
Yes you were the difference
Yes you, you were the cause
You changed my whole perspective on what life is all about
Oh, we don’t know if we are criminal
We can't tell what we're up to
We take cover in the thought that maybe
We are not what they think of us
We might be dancing in the moonlight
Might be fighting for our dear lives
But they'll never know what becomes of us
On and on and on we run to what we think we want
We run to
On and on and on we try to hold the feelings that we want
We run to
On and on and on I'll run to
You is who I want to run to
On and on and on I'll run to you
Some may think that we are criminal
But they can't tell just what we're up to
We take cover in the thought that maybe
We are not what they think of us
Might be dancing in the moonlight
Might be fighting for our dear lives
But they'll never know what becomes of us
Becomes of us
We aim to survive
Yeah, we aim just to get by
But behind every promise waits a demon in disguise, oh
A demon in disguise
Let’s Ride
I know sometimes it hurts
Think twice on what to do
You simmer in the consequence
Is it right or wrong for you?
Out in the sun
Leaving shadows for anyone
Who can appreciate the fun
Now I'm not saying its better than being in love
Or as painful as being dumped
But I swear at times when you feel that rush
It's a feeling that won't get trumped
Out in the sun
Leaving shadows for anyone
Who can appreciate the fun
On and on
Let's ride
Forget about what’s wrong
Concentrate on the little things in life that turn you on
On and on
Let’s ride
Put some miles on those wheels
Slowly watch how good it feels
You'll be glad you came along
So please don’t hesitate
Let’s leave before we lose the light
Let’s ride
Let's ride (On and on we ride)
Forget about what’s wrong
Concentrate on the little things in life that turn you on
And just ride (On and on we ride)
Put some miles on those wheels
Slowly watch how good it feels
You'll be glad you came along
And just ride (On and on we ride)
Forget about whats wrong
Concentrate on the little things in life that turn you on
And just ride (On and on we ride)
Put some miles on those wheels
And let’s ride
Let’s ride
Moments
Sometimes your beauty overwhelms me
Like feeling the warmth within your glow
I stumble about when you're not with me
Just a ripple of static in your soul
Sometimes my actions don't amuse you
You turn a deaf ear to my songs
I'm not surprised by your behavior
I'm getting accustomed to it all
But oh, the moments when you're near I rarely contain myself
But this tranquil heart goes crazy when you disappear
But oh, the moments when you're near I rarely contain myself
But this tranquil heart goes crazy when you disappear
You know your beauty overwhelms me
In spite of the way you make me feel
Who knows someday you'll understand me
Someday your love might be for real
Only You
I just can't imagine a day of me not being without you
Alone beneath the stars
Always wondering where you are
I just can't fathom the thought of me not thinking about you
Another glass of wine won't erase those images of you in my mind
It’s so careless of me to think that it's not real
When in fact every time that I open my eyes
It’s you I see and feel
Hold me close
Save me from myself
Only you can make a difference
Contrary to what you believe is true
It’s only you can make a difference in me
I just can't imagine a world of you not hanging beside me
This table is meant for two
It wouldn't be the same without you
It scares me to think that fate would not have lead me to find you
But luck became my friend
It’s a story I hope that never ends
It’s so careless of me to think that it's not real
When in fact every time that I open my eyes
It’s you I see and feel
Hold me close
Save me from myself
Only you can make a difference
Contrary to what you believe is true
It’s only you can make a difference in me
Hope is just a dream that with you comes to life
Every time
I just can't imagine a day of me not being without you
I just can't fathom the thought of me not thinking about you
I just can't imagine a day of me not being without you
Oh, I just can't fathom the thought of me not thinking about you
I.O.U.
Brother can you tell that I've lost everything
It’s true
Events spared no expense
It affected my livelihood
It’s true
You struggle just to have your own existence
But existence wasn't happening for you know who
So I'll take what you got and hand you this IOU
Baby, with some patience
I'll supply you with what you need
But lately what you need exceeds any possibilities
I know that it’s this chemical resistance
Obviously not working out for me and you
So I'll take this opportunity to hand you this IOU
You give your heart to someone who believes you
But love can sometimes never be enough
So I'll take what's available and exchange it with this IOU
Each and every morning greets a new day as its passing through
Before you start to realize what's happening the year is through
So true
You struggle just to fight for your existence
But existence doesn't wait for either me or you
So just take what is giving and write yourself an IOU
An IOU
An IOU
Gave Me Away
With bloodshot eyes on a winter's night
I felt the curse of never lasting love
Shot after shot I tried to drink you away
But still the hurt left stains that will always remain
You gave me away
You showed me what for
You gave me away
Yeah, you gave me away
You show showed no remorse as you shattered my hope
You gave me away
Yeah, you gave me away
You gave me away
You gave me away
On any given night you can lose your thoughts
Find yourself in chains
Find yourself in a box
I was starving for you but all I got were crumbs
You gave me away when you scattered my heart
You gave me away
You showed me what for
You gave me away
Yeah, you gave me away
You show showed no remorse as you shattered my hope
You gave me away
Yeah, you gave me away
You gave me away
You showed me what for
You gave me away
Yeah, you gave me away
You show showed no remorse as you shattered my hope
You gave me away
Yeah, you gave me away
Behind the hurt or beneath the glare
You can stop and stare but you won't find me there
You gave me away
You showed me what for
You gave me away
Yeah, you gave me away
You show showed no remorse as you shattered my hope
You gave me away
Yeah, you gave me away
You gave me away
You gave me away
You show showed no remorse as you shattered my hope
You gave me away
Yeah, you gave me away
You gave me away
You gave me away
You gave me away
You gave me away
Gave me away
Gave me away
Gave me away
Letting Go
I'm tired of this place
It shrivels up my skin
Time for letting go
Where do I begin?
It’s not easy to ignore these rumblings in my heart
Because every inch of space lies within these prison walls
Where do I begin?
Where do I begin?
Tell me, where do I begin?
Where do I begin?
It’s been years since I felt your warm embrace
It’s been years that I’ve struggled in this place
The signs are there
Look, they're written everywhere
In the clouds in the sky
Where the sun never shines
Where the rain always falls like tears from your eyes
Every grain in the sand as it flows through your hands
Or the way that it feels when cold rips you in half
Time and again
It’s not hard to explain the reasons we are all feeling this way
Got to find a way to make it back
Where it’s warm
To make it last
Find that zip code that will please
Both the in and out part of me
Got to find a place to melt these blues
Brighten up this point of view
Find that zip code that will please
Both the in and out part of me
A part of me
I'm tired of this place
It’s not where I want to be
I look the other way
Can't chase the misery
Not easy to ignore these rumblings in my heart
Tell me where to go
Please, show me where to start
Got to find a way to make it back to where it’s warm
And make it last
Find that zip code that will please
Both the in and out part of me
Got to find a place to melt these blues (Hold those thoughts)
Brighten up this point of view (And don’t let go)
Find that zip code that will please (Let them take you where)
Both the in and out part of me (You really want to go)
Got to find a way to make it back to where it’s warm (Steady hands)
And make it last (Bring happy minds)
Find that zip code that will please (You dream out loud)
Both the in and out part of me (Hope they take you far)
Got to find a place to melt these blues (Hold those thoughts)
Brighten up this point of view (And don’t let go)
Let them take you where you really want to go
You really want to go
Steady hands bring happy minds
You dream out loud and hope they take you far
Hold those thoughts and don't let go
Let them take you where you really want to go
Steady hands bring happy minds
You dream out loud and hope they take you far
Hold those thoughts and don't let go
Let them take you where you really want to go
Steady hands bring happy minds
You dream out loud and hope they take you far
Hold those thoughts and don't let go
Let them take you where you really want to go
