gun-shy

The sky keeps staring at me

Frozen in my tracks

Nothing else to see

And when I move my face left

You're always standing there

A shadow I can't see

And even then I can't trace

You're walking away

I put my ears to the ground

Always pushing down

Nothing 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

The pain

Losing my aim

And why

Haven't we changed

Story to blame

Recite

All of my wrongs

You know it's wrong

You smile)

The cold keeps tearing at me

Slowing down my blood

Unable to speak

I left my mind long ago

Choosing something false

Always letting go

And when I try to face you

You're walking away

I don't want to say it all again

I never seem to see

And why

Do i always feel it all the same

The blisters in my eyes

Recite

A guide that has only led me stray

And even as i limp

You smile
