Fireproof

When the cut and thrust
Of the day is done
And I’m walking alone
As if it were my last sunset
Thinking about the people
I’ve met
 
Heroes and villains
Lies and truth
One thing’s for sure
I’m not fireproof
 
When the cut and thrust
Of the day is done
And I’m spending time
In the glowing sun
Alone in my head
With the things I’ve done and said
 
Now, and in my youth
One thing’s for sure
I’m not fireproof
 
Standing at the watershed
My God, it’s such a narrow ledge
Each way, pain and uncertainty
Which one is right for me?
Truth or dare, I must decide
Hit the target, or miss and go wide
 
Caught at this crossroads
Moment of truth
One thing’s for sure
I’m not fireproof
