Reflections from '59 by Calling Down Fire

Never been a killer
Never sought to harm a soul but now they’ve gone and
Thrown me to the wolves
To fend for myself

Shaking palms, never thought I’d fall this far out of line
But desperation’s claimed its victim, and now I’ve claimed mine
Now I’ve claimed mine

Never been a killer
Never sought to harm a soul but now they’ve gone and
Thrown me to the wolves
To fend for myself

What was I supposed to do?
What was I supposed to do?

Your expression’s got me trembling in the driver’s seat
Its like your phantom’s sitting next to me
You were a stranger, never did a thing to harm me
Please stay, I deserve to be haunted

And I can still see the look of terror in your eyes
As your spirit left the room
Where is the heart of gold I used to know?
Floodwaters crumble my foundation, now I’m on my own
And I’m weak
But I’ve got a daughter to feed

And in the end, when it all goes down in flames
I pray you’ll know me not for what I’ve done but for the man I became
But I’d rather you hate me than see you grow up with hunger pains
So absolve me of tonight, or may history erase my name

May history erase my name

Where is the heart of gold I used to know?
Floodwaters crumble my foundation, now I’m on my own
Where is the heart of gold I used to know?
Floodwaters crumble my foundation, now I’m on my own
