lyrics

All of the fire lights that carved out your love
failed to complete you and they left you quite rough.
You've got a hundred pound darkness stuck in your eyes like a gun.
And I'm stuck inside your fire-line, humbled like a crystal in the sun.

Don't wave your arms because you don't understand.
That kind of weight just makes you fall where you stand.
So you don't stand for nothin' and nothin' lets you down anymore.
You've got a hundred pound darkness that makes you just the man that you are.

It's a hundred pound darkness comin' off the fire line
comin' round to smother us all.
It's a hundred pound darkness comin' off the fire line
comin' round to smother us all.

Don't blame the sun for that light in your eyes.
That ain't a star that's been makin' you blind.
And if you don't really know then you're never gonna figure it out.
That's a hundred pound darkness that always been draggin' you down.

It's a hundred pound darkness comin' off the fire line
comin' round to smother us all.
It's a hundred pound darkness comin' off the fire line
comin' round to smother us all.
It's a hundred pound darkness comin' off the fire line
comin' round to smother us all.
