Olivia Chrestomanci - Fire in the Hole lyrics

I spent a nighttime chasing poltergeists and I fell down You told me to stay put till you could bring the car around I'm waiting in a pitch-black parking garage by the side of the Vegas Strip I'm paying for an oversight That you won't admit And I'm not sure who I'm talking to right now It could be you or it could be him Yeah I think it's him Come on, a lifetime chasing poltergeists, you just break out? It's a cop-out, I didn't stop you Though I was ordered to Who's gonna watch over you now you're out there without us? You took an out and it nearly broke me in two If I tell it true Little brother Is it a bother That I've been calling you? Oh Western Nevada in the summertime Is hot and ungodly dry I see heat shimmer up off the pavement Like a failed goodbye Rock salt, highways, and sh** to k** We pretend it's all the same He'd pull a trigger in a heartbeat But he can't say your name The ghosts of miners whisper down in the tunnels That are stretched beneath the desert sand like rivers They belonged to men who hunted silver down in the darkness I'm a man who hunts the dark down with silver I fell further than a person should fall But I'm tough and I pulled through Just before I hit the ground I thought of you I didn't try to stop you but I wanted to Shotguns, road maps, and roach motels We pretend like nothing's changed He'd pull a trigger in a heartbeat But he can't say your name It's like every mention of you is an act of violence He can't say your name so I'll say it in silence If he really won't say your name then I'll say it in silence
