[Verse 1]
We woke up as men, but tonight
Tonight we'll sleep as killers
As we break the cryptic morning
With a bullet and a prayer
The steel never seemed so cold and agile
And a life never seemed less vital and fragile
[Verse 2]
With a heart that's beating
Louder than my own
I watch a girl they call Kezia
I watch a woman that I know
My hope and my own future, blindfolded (To atone)
To atone for a sin I didn't care for
But a sin that paid my debts
A sin that fed my children
That burned my smiles and cigarettes
[Bridge]
And no one ever
Said that hope would be so beautiful
And no one ever
Said I'd have to pull the trigger, on her
[Verse 3]
I can't even still her trembling hands
That were locked up by the dutiful
And the obligated
We woke up as men, but tonight
Tonight we'll sleep as killers
As we break the cryptic morning
With a bullet and a prayer
The steel never seemed so cold and agile
And a life never seemed less vital and fragile
[Verse 2]
With a heart that's beating
Louder than my own
I watch a girl they call Kezia
I watch a woman that I know
My hope and my own future, blindfolded (To atone)
To atone for a sin I didn't care for
But a sin that paid my debts
A sin that fed my children
That burned my smiles and cigarettes
[Bridge]
And no one ever
Said that hope would be so beautiful
And no one ever
Said I'd have to pull the trigger, on her
[Verse 3]
I can't even still her trembling hands
