One Bullet

All it takes is one shot
One bullet
Boom
Dead
And if you got a problem you better take it up with the head
As he sits in his throne and watches
So enthralled in the dread
The panic, in bed I think about it
We’ll all rot in the end
Our corpses will decay
Our souls will be lost
Why does all this shit have to happen to us?

When you think, it’s never going to ever happen to him
And his crew
And they’re the people with the tickets at the zoo
Private showing let them see just what you can do
All the tricks the trainers taught you
While you were in the cage
Trapped like a dog
No light for days
But you’re in a haze
And there’s nothing you can do
Sit, fetch, beg and pop another pill
Etch another cut on your wrist if no one notices the pain
Fuck them all anyway
They can all go straight back to where they came

They hated your performance
But you can just ignore them
Until it gets lonely
Then you remember all their comments
Remember what they said
And you get to thinking about the life you could have had
The love you might have shared
The pain you would have felt
But in the end it all comes down to just one last belt
Of the words in your head
Maybe now they’ll understand
All it takes is one shot
One bullet
Boom
…Dead
