I Caught The Bullet xx
xx Back
i've had enough--enough of your speech
shut your poison glissening lips
your words are rotting my insides
slowly turning my poetic mind into trash

and you, you need to come with me right now
gotta sit you down and undo your smile
i'm tired of hearing of what you do
time i see it for myself, see if your vile

i fear that what the snake said is true
that all i think of you, is a one way street
do you feel nothing when i say, 'i love you'
is this some sick apathetic game you cheat?

all day i listen about you, about your selfishness
everytime i believe in you, they scorn me
tell me these lies are just part of the madness
and that there is no validated reason to not believe

tell me what i need to hear, tell me now
don't you go silent like that--don't look that way
why can't you just tell me just how
i always found a way to make believe we're okay?

now i'm here back again, kneeling before the snake
i drink your poison now, causing asphyxiation
i should have listened, but i guess thats my mistake
now i will pray to my death, that you'll forgive me

and like stars are bullets shooting across the sky
i will fall, mercilessly--broken hearted for you
because you shot your gun and i caught the bullet
i have loved it live for you, and now i'll die for you
