Lyrics

Biting Bullets

Don't you wonder

Is anyone that strong

It takes me under

Believing what I'm seeing

I get so tired of watching friends go down

The hungry tiger for all who never began

[Chorus]

Biting bullets

Biting the clouds

Biting bullets

Biting the clouds

I saw the show

Shaking all the babies

Should I believe the parade of clever lies

Shadow of light in the shadow of death

There is no difference to all who never began

[Chorus]

Biting bullets

Biting the clouds

Biting bullets

Biting the clouds

There was a time

There was a way to live

And it's no secret

That it won't come back again

I lose myself like anybody else

But I'm not so strong to make it in the end

I need some answers when the day comes crashing down

'Cause it's all over when there's no one to be found

[Outro]

Biting bullets

Biting the clouds

Biting bullets

Biting the clouds

Biting bullets

Biting the clouds

Biting bullets

Biting the clouds
