"Count the Fires" lyrics

"Count the Fires"

Let slip the dogs of war
I can't live here anymore
All guts, no glory
This here is my marriage story

Ink on my fingers, grey in my beard
Cat hair on my cardigan
We must depict the carnival
Sometimes it ain't nobody's fault

Count the fires
I see seven
Suck the shine
Half gone to heaven
Hog killing, Lord willing
I'll count the fires
'Til I see seven

Maybe you can get back with your ex
Maybe we can have some Christmas sex
Desperate times sure to follow
I ain't never felt this damn hollow

Count the fires
I see seven
Suck the shine
Half gone to heaven
Hog killing, Lord willing
I'll count the fires
'Til I see seven

Count the fires
I see seven
Suck the shine
Half gone to heaven
Hog killing, Lord willing
I'll count the fires
'Til I see seven
