Lyrics

[Intro]

I got guns in my head and they won't go

Spirits in my head and they won't go

I got guns in my head and they won't go

Spirits in my head and they won't

[Verse 1]

I've been looking at the stars tonight

And I think, oh, how I miss that bright sun

I'll be a dreamer till the day I die

But they say, oh, how the good die young

[PreChorus]

But we're all strange

And maybe we don't want to change

[Chorus]

I got guns in my head and they won't go

Spirits in my head and they won't go

I got guns in my head and they won't go

Spirits in my head and they won't go

But the gun still rattles

The gun still rattles, oh

I got guns in my head and they won't go

Spirits in my head and they won't go

[Verse 2]

I spent a lot of nights on the run

And I think, oh, like I'm lost and can't be found

I'm just waiting for my day to come

And I think, oh, I don't want to let you down

[PreChorus]

'Cause something inside has changed

And maybe we don't want to stay the same

[Chorus]

I got guns in my head and they won't go

Spirits in my head and they won't go

I got guns in my head and they won't go

Spirits in my head and they won't go

But the gun still rattles

The gun still rattles, oh

But the gun still rattles

The gun still rattles, oh

[Bridge]

Oh, and I don't want a never-ending life

I just want to be alive while I'm here

And I don't want a never-ending life

I just want to be alive while I'm here

[Bridge]

And I don't want to see another night

Lost inside a lonely life

While I'm here

[Chorus]

I got guns in my head and they won't go

Spirits in my head and they won't go

I got guns in my head and they won't go

Spirits in my head and they won't go

But the gun still rattles

The gun still rattles, oh

But the gun still rattles

The gun still rattles, oh
