Lyrics

Drink my coffee quietly
Rewrite all my lines
Rewound the scene
Inside my head
At least a million times
regret-the words I left unsaid
Tuned out all the noise
Until I hear myself aloud again
Surprised by my own voice

I’m the hero of this story
And in every one I guess
Until I recognize the gravity
Of just how I’ve been blessed

When you’ve faced your own destruction
You’re convinced of your own fate
By the time you realize the truth
You’ll find it’s way too late

When the bells of Saint Sebastian rang
Smelled the smoke,
And felt the sting
Bullets piercing through my skin
Yet somehow I got up again
reached the last rotation
And my wings begin to lift
Then for some odd reason
You provided me a gift
You pulled me from the ceiling
To the ambulance below
My eyes began to dim beneath
The hazy streetlight glow

I lay beneath Saint Michael’s shield
Angels came to take the field
Devine design to let me live
And teach his child how to forgive

When the bells of Saint Sebastian rang
Smelled the smoke, felt the sting
Bullets piercing through my skin
Yet somehow I got up again

I stood behind Saint Michael’s shield
Angels came to take the field
Devine design to let me live
And teach his child how to forgive

Drink my coffee quietly
Rewrite all my lines
Rewound the scene
Inside my head
At least a million times
