Gun-Shy

The sky keeps starin' at me

Frozen in my tracks

(Nothin' else to see)

And when I move my face left

You're always standin' there

(A shadow I can't see)

And even there, I can't trace

You're walkin' away

I put my ears to the ground

Always pushin' down

(Nothin' I can hear)

I found the worst half in me

I'm cut off at the knees

(Can't even take a stand)

Against your words and beliefs

We didn't want to freeze

(All of the years, leaving me here, gun-shy)

I don't want to say it all again (Takin' aim, losin' my way)

Never seem to see (And why?)

Do I always feel it all the same? (How do we change?)

(The story today) The blisters in my eyes (Recite)

A guide that has only led me stray (Always and lost)

(You will destroy) And even as I limp (You smile)

The cold keeps tearin' at me

Slowin' down my blood

(Unable to speak)

I left my mind long ago

Choosin' somethin' false

(Always lettin' go)

And when I try to face you

You're walkin' away

(All of the years, leaving me here, gun-shy)

I don't want to say it all again (Takin' aim, losin' my way)

Never seem to see (And why?)

Do I always feel it all the same? (How do we change?)

(The story today) The blisters in my eyes (Recite)

A guide that has only led me stray (Always and lost)

(You will destroy) And even as I limp (You smile)
