BULLETS

bullets graze my back
im dodging the vein
hardening the arteries
in the event that everything should fall into place
take a deep breath and brace for impact
cause nothing that special could ever happen
in a life like ours

i bought a shotgun for the wolves at the door
they will never take me alive
knee deep in sweat
against the bed where we lay heavy burdens to rest
i just need a moment to breathe
and then im all set
im trudging through the muck looking for that little something
that little speck of something special to make everything worth while
and you'll all know when i find it
because nothing will be able to hold me back ever again
im a firm believer that im one of the few left
and i have a heart thats red and pure
and all it needs is a warm place to call home
and carve a notch for her inside to call her my own
i know heaven is out there and nothing here is real
now do you think you can imagine the way i feel
theres something in the air tonight
its getting hard to breathe
but i accept it and i roll with it
and i know theres something out there for me
