Six Feet Under the Gun

Your conceited doctrines burned, all your principles you spurned

Because in truth they were not their, another costume that you wear

The bitterness burns at you

But a lie is never the truth

A supercilious facade to hide the weakness that's at heart

In spite the reason that belies the wretched traits you die to hide

The servant was born to betray as the light is sure to face

All at once it crashes down

In this mire you will drown

To the sound of your own voice

Six feet under the gun

All the bridges that you burned

Opportunities you spurned

All come crashing down on you

Six feet under the gun

Such a tangled web we weave

In the practice of deceit

For too long we were ensnared

Six feet under the gun

As it unravels 'for your eyes

Only silence nullifies

Sanctimonious denial

Six feet under the gun

Your burning need to hold the floor, to perpetrate the caricature

And in sarcastic false riposte malfunction in senseless loss

The fantasy swallows you

When you've bitten off more than you can chew

All at once...
