The Bullet - Birdeatsbaby

Tired of the bullet you laid out your life

In selections of photographs hung up to dry

Shoot through the middle and gather your points

By protecting yourself from another bad choice

No one will care if you put out that light

You built an army but they would not fight

So speechless and void you’re just a memory

Stuck in the mirror with no exit strategy

You should move on make a life of your own

Get happily married and live in a home

But you can’t sit still and your certain it’s true

There’s just too many them and just not enough you

You’re a rat in a cage you’re a bull in a china shop

Took center stage for the world just to spit you up

I say let’s shoot back

Heaven above us and Hell just behind

Nobody knows it I’m just one of a million kinds

So sing if your sorry for all you see

Sing if you’re just the same as me

Looking back now there’s no way I would do

Anything different or anything new

You and me both were the bullet within

We’re just playing a game that nobody can win

So I’ll burn all my promises, never agree

To become what I hate and then hate what I see

I’m as empty as all of the air that I breathe

And I’m hollowed and flawed but at least I still bleed

Help me remember that once you were here

Living without you it’s just one of a million fears

So I’ll keep on singing this lullabye

Darling how deep does the bullet lie

How deep does the bullet lie

How deep does the bullet lie

How deep does the bullet lie

How deep does the bullet lie
