Fire Away Lyrics
Load up the flares and fire away.
Search without rescue.
Of all the times you looked out to sea,
you never stepped in.
Why wait for me?
Abandon ship.
Fend for yourself.
You’ve got that sinking feeling and nothing else.
Priorities change,
and hope fades away.
How did you get here?
At first you thought you had control,
now you’re just following.
So lost again.
Abandon ship.
Fend for yourself.
You’ve got that sinking feeling and nothing else.
With the resources left in your heart,
of course you’re afraid.
And all you did was break another tie.
And all of this can break another time.
Abandon ship.
Fend for yourself.
You’ve got that sinking feeling and nothing else.
Search without rescue.
Of all the times you looked out to sea,
you never stepped in.
Why wait for me?
Fend for yourself.
You’ve got that sinking feeling and nothing else.
and hope fades away.
How did you get here?
At first you thought you had control,
now you’re just following.
So lost again.
Fend for yourself.
You’ve got that sinking feeling and nothing else.
of course you’re afraid.
And all you did was break another tie.
And all of this can break another time.
Fend for yourself.
You’ve got that sinking feeling and nothing else.

Fire Away: The opposite end of the spectrum from '2009'. It's about when someone thinks they know what they want in life, so they drop everyone and everything important to them to pursue it. Big mistake. Sometimes you just need your friends. "And all you did was break another tie. And all of this can break another time."
