Gun-Shy

The sky keeps staring at me

Frozen in my tracks

Nothing else to see

And when I move my face left

You're always standing there

A shadow I can't see

And even then I can't trace

You're walking away

I put my ears to the ground

Always pushing down

Nothing I can hear

I found the worst half in me

I'm cut off at the knees

Can't even take a stand

Against your words and beliefs

We didn't want to freeze

(All of the years

Leaving me here

Gun-shy

The pain

Losing my aim

And why

Haven't we changed?

Story to blame?

Recite

All of my wrongs

You know it's wrong

You smile)

I don't want to say it all again

I never seem to see

And why?

Do I always feel it all the same

The blisters in my eyes

Recite

A guide that has only led me stray

And even as I limp

You smile

The cold keeps tearing at me

Slowing down my blood

Unable to speak

I left my mind long ago

Choosing something false

Always letting go

And when I try to face you

You're walking away
