Shotgun Wisdom

Lighting up the room

Like we always do

But the eye of the storm is blind to the path it leaves behind it's true

Plans that keep falling through

The distance between me and you

Growing and showing a piece of me shrinking as I watch in my rearview

Too fast or too soon

What was our excuse?

Reel off old reasons angels and demons don't bore me with something new

Cus' all I need is a clue

But they're far between and few

Drifting just beyond my reach my inner peace like a runaway balloon

I'm losing sight of my sound

The air is under the ground

I feel out for a new taste

Of a different brain

I knew you then but truth be told

This tiresome story's getting old

A certain depth you cannot reach

A lesson that you cannot teach

I'm biting lead is it white or red?

Too many close shaves to not be dead

That's par for course been here before

Not tired just feeling pretty sore

I'm here to take away your head

Soft pillow stains this barrel red

Sunset and darkness falls

Waves crash at crumbling walls

Try as you might you bark and you bite but you know there'll be no curtain call

Live until you learn

Or watch the pyre burn

Acolytes, sinners, wisemen, beginners all will take their turn

So try try try again

But remember that apathy supersedes sympathy in the end

I knew you then but truth be told

This tiresome story's old

A certain depth you cannot reach

A lesson that you cannot teach

I'm biting lead is it white or red?

Too many close shaves to not be dead

That's par for course been here before

Not tired just feeling pretty sore

Your double barrel personality

You broke yourself but you ain't broken me
