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

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 get out

a darker side that no one knows about

can anybody hear me?

can 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

down

here's where it ends

i'm never going back there again

'cause every time i'm standing by

the 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's a piece of me that's breaking down

can anybody hear me?

can 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 anybody--

can anybody hear me?

can 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

down

here's where it starts

another night alone in the dark

hate is running through my veins

steady now i'm takin' aim
