Bullets

Green hills and enemies, these things, they make us sentimental inside

Your words are gelignite or just another sentimental aside

We're catching bullets in our teeth

And though it's easy if you know how it's done

They split the secret up six ways

Before they gave it to us just before dawn

And now we don't remember

Our blood and guts are out

We spread our bones across the table at night

We cut our fingers off

To give ourselves those little extra insights

We're catching bullets in our teeth

And though they try hard not to say how it's done, they always do

They split the secret out six ways

And beg for our forgiveness just before dawn

And now we don't remember

We're catching bullets in our teeth

It's hard to do, but they taste sweet

And if they take a couple out, we try to work things out

We're catching bullets with our heads and hearts

And all the darkest parts of us, it's strange to find such light

In such endless night

So sweet to lose a friend

You leave the church and taste the air in your lungs

Old lies and fireflies, carve angels on your eyes and all is undone

You whisper prayers into the dark

Up to a god in whom you've never believed, you always do

You split the secret up six ways, but it won't make it any easier to see

And now we don't remember

We're catching bullets in our teeth

It's hard to do, but they're so sweet

And if they take a couple out, we try to work things out

We're catching bullets with our heads and hearts

And all the darkest parts of us, it's strange to find such light

In such endless night

We're catching bullets in our backs

We send the undertaker back into the garden

In the drought, to try to work things out

We're catching bullets with the best resources that we've got

We're happy, then again we're not

We shout through the endless doubt
