If I Were A Weapon
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.
If I were a weapon
you said I'd be a gun
lethal at close range i guess
with silencer and stun
but I feel more like a needle
always pulling on the thread
always making the same point again
and wondering if you heard what I just said
if you were a weapon
a hammer's what you'd be
blunt and heavy at the end
and coming down on me
but i've concealed a weapon
in a pocket knife attack
all folded up inside until you see the shine
and then you'll want it back
oooh
if I were a weapon
you said i'd be a gun
lethal at close range I guess
w silencer and stun
well, if I am that weapon
I am pointing now at you
so just put down the hostage and we'll
talk it down until we see this through
