Somewhere Down The Barrel

Lyrics

somewhere from the mortar

they saved you from far away labels

eternity means nothing

but a sign on a bridge

when everyones a stranger

they call for you by your first name

and laugh at jokes you once made

when you were a kid

somewhere down the barrel

lies a bullet that i can't keep

and in these waters i'm wading for a reason

afterall, it's in my head

i'm not a slave to a desperate lust

and in these waters i'm waiting for a reason afterall…

screaming limitations

fall silent on new york corners

a terrorist's a prisoner, and a tourist a thief

when paintings seem like bargains

but they're nothing but wallpaper

i'm plagued by small town fascists

like a rash on my skin

somewhere down the barrel

lies a bullet that i can't keep and

i've been searching for something more than distance

afterall, it's in my head

i'm not a slave to an unborn trust

and in these waters i'm waiting for a reason afterall….afterall….afterall…

nah nah nah nah nah……………
