Tired of the bullet, you laid out your life In selections of photographs hung up to dry Shoot through the middle and gather your points By protecting yourself from another bad choice
No one will care if you put out that light You built an army but they would not fight So then speechless and void, you're just a memory Stuck in the mirror with no exit strategy
You should move on, make a life of your own Get happily married and live in a home But you can't sit still and you're certain it's true There's just too many them and just not enough you
You're a rat in a cage, you're a bull in a china shop Took center stage for the world just to spit you up I say let's shoot back
Heaven above us and hell just behind Nobody knows it, I'm just one of a million kinds So sing if you're sorry for all that you see Sing if you're just the same as me
Looking back now there's no way I would do Anything different or anything new You and me both we're the bullet within We're just playing a game that nobody can win
So I'll burn all my promises, never agree To become what I hate and then hate what I see I'm as empty as all of the air that I breathe And I'm hollowed and fraught but at least I still bleed
Help me remember that once you were here Living without you, it's just one of a million fears So I'll keep on singing this lullaby Darling how deep does the bullet lie
How deep does the bullet lie How deep does the bullet lie How deep does the bullet lie How deep does the bullet lie
