Lyrics

"Catching Ammunition"

Gracefully you acted safe and wonderful
Took the role did the dance
Guaranteed you would feed me to the muzzle flash
of the weapon in your hand

I have heard enough sad songs to know
people can be cruel
And love is nothing more than those 10 paces
before the turn in a duel
so I won't feel bad for playing my part so well
this is what I envisioned catching ammunition

Before the sting it gets cold in the extremities
then you blink and there's a spark
everything catches fire in slow motion
as your world gets blown apart

I have heard enough sad songs to know
people can be cruel
And love is nothing more than those 10 paces
before the turn in a duel
so I won't feel bad for playing my part so well
this is what I envisioned catching ammunition

There will be a little mercy
through the hope and dust
maybe it will finish me off
if only I can catch enough

I have heard enough sad songs to know
people can be cruel
And love is nothing more than those 10 paces
before the turn in a duel
so I won't feel bad for playing my part so well
this is what I envisioned catching ammunition
