Lyrics
Gun-Shy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The sky keeps staring at me
Frozen in my tracks
(Nothing else to see)
And when I move my face left
You're always standing there
(A shadow I can't see)
And even then I can't trace
Your walking away
I put my ears to the ground
Always pushing down
(Nothing I can hear)
I found the worst half in me
I'm cut off at the knees
(Can't even take a stand)
Against your words and beliefs
I didn't wanna freeze
(All of the years, leaving me here
Gun-shy)
I don't wanna say it all again
Everything you see
(Why) Do I always feel it all the same
This is in my eye
A guide that has only led me astray
And even as I live (you smile)
The cold keeps tearing at me
Slowing down my blood
(Unable to speak)
I left my mind long ago
Choosing something false
(Always letting go)
And when I try to face you
You're walking away
(All of the years, leaving me here
Gun-shy)
I don't wanna say it all again
Everything you see
(Why) Do I always feel it all the same
This is in my eye
A guide that has only led me astray
And even as I live (you smile)
