Machinegun

I’ve got a right end

And a wrong one

It’s been a long time

since we got some

kinda spite-fuelled

I got along once

I’m not a person

I would recognise

I am erasing

the all-pervading

I’m Masqerading

as a person

I’m a projectile

of nothing worthwhile

I don’t function

unless I hurt some

I am a machine gun

I am the obscene one

got nothing to give

no reason to live

just keep shooting

till it all falls down

I am a machine gun

I’ll never believe no-one

I’m just another fucking reason

why the only way to live

is to kill someone

I am a weapon

I am a tool

I had a reason

I am a fool

I’m under pressure

From everyone

I’m an excuse

for what I’ve become

I am the fallout

I am the bomb

I try crawlout

from the explosion

Always thought that

I was the one

guess you showed me

I’m all done

Standing over this pit

I know I’m going to dive

can’t get over this shit

can not stay alive

I put nothing inside you

except lead

and there’s no place to hide

because it’s all dead

Rest your finger on the safety catch

Become something you’re not

Drop the bullet into the glass

Throw back the shot
