Put The Gun Down
Andy Black
Here's where it starts
Another night alone in the dark
Hate is running through my veins
Steady, now I'm takin' aim
The darkness of day
All the skies are turning to grey
I can't tune the voices out
How'd they get so Goddamn loud?
Oh, cause there's a side
Another side of me that can't get out
A darker side that no one knows about
Can't anybody hear me?
Can't anybody see me?
'Cause I think I lost my way
Put the gun down
Just put the gun down
Will anybody watch me?
Is someone gonna stop me?
This could be my last mistake
Put the gun down
Just put the gun down
Here's where it ends
I'm never going back there again
'Cause every time I'm standing by
There're shadows in my line of sight
When does it stop?
'Cause I'm living cold and shut off
Even when I clench my fists
It's slipping through my fingertips
Oh, cause there's a piece
There's a piece of me
That's missing now
Yeah, there is a piece of me
That's breaking now
Can't anybody hear me?
Can't anybody see me?
'Cause I think I lost my way
Put the gun down
Just put the gun down
Will anybody watch me?
Is someone gonna stop me?
This could be my last mistake
Put the gun down
Just put the gun down
That's when I look myself in the mirror
Now, I'm seeing things a little clearer
Honest, I can't hide what's inside me
I said I'm tired of pointing the finger
Tired of this hand holding the trigger
Now I'm done with that
I gotta take one step back
Can't anybody
Can't anybody hear me?
Can't anybody see me?
'Cause I think I lost my way
Put the gun down
Just put the gun down
Will anybody watch me?
Is someone gonna stop me?
This could be my last mistake
Put the gun down
Just put the gun down
Here's where it starts
Another night alone in the dark
Hate is running through my veins
Steady, now I'm takin' aim
