The Bell

The Bell - First Aid Kid

Don't place your bets on me

I'm tired and I'm only

With nothing to offer you

Nothing to offer you

The pavement stares gray and cold

Our lives are a story told

Coming to an ending

It's coming to an ending

How could I turn around

Face the sound of the bell that shines

Ring it out trim it out

To drag me back down

But I'm not coming home

Been out here for so long

The road just stretches on

Till I stop pretending

Till I stop pretending

But the world is an empty frame

And now you are just a name

I'll keep it that way

It's staying that way

How could I turn around

Face the sound of the bell that shines

Ring it out trim it out

To drag me back down

But I'm not coming home

I tried hard to be brave

I tried hard not to be afraid

But trying wasn't enough

I tried hard to be brave

I tried hard not to be afraid

But trying wasn't enough

I'm sorry I'm sorry

Can you hear the bell

Can you hear the bell

The bell the bell

Can you hear the bell

Can you hear the bell

The bell the bell

From the rust that lies deep in it's throat

I hear solemn tones

The danger the absent floors

In the silence of night he lets me know

That I'm not coming home
