Active Shooter

Bitterness, another day, idle fate
City lights, post-meridian uselessness
Bar flies on lonely nights
Neglected streets, a homeless life
Drifting further, degeneration is at hand
Fading away
It's easier to go astray
Walking miles tonight
where urban darkness
has devoured the light
A wolfpack of lowlives
Like bees within their hives
A weapon in my pocket
to paint with lead these skies
Drifter on the loose
High on self-abuse
I wish you all drop dead
to stop this dog-days blues
I'll pave my way
Active shooter - Active shooter
It's my field day
Active shooter
A million lies, betrayed by youth, a bitter truth
The architecture of this farce crumbling down
Hands tied, blinded sight, you're in my trunk
Driving down the highway
There's something on my mind
Running away
You thought was easier to downplay
Driving miles tonight
where urban darkness
assassinates the light
The rise of a lowlife
A bee who's left its hive
The barrel at your head
will paint with blood these skies
Drifter on the loose
High on self-abuse
I wish you all drop dead
to stop this dog-days blues
I'll pave my way
Active shooter - Active shooter
It's my field day
Active shooter
One hell of a night
Nocturnal breeze smells fine
Watching the world go by
through the glass of my gunsight
Bitterness, another day, idle fate
City lights, post-meridian uselessness
A million lies, betrayed by youth, a bitter truth
The architecture of this farce crumbling down
A wolfpack of lowllives
Like bees within their hives
A weapon in my pocket
to paint with lead these skies
The rise of a lowlife
A bee who's left its hive
The barrel at your head
will paint with blood these skies
Drifter on the loose
High on self-abuse
I wish you all drop dead
to stop this dog-days blues
I'll pave my way
Active shooter - Active shooter
It's my field day
Active shooter - Active shooter
