Gunman

Gunman, bloodshot eyes
Gunman, grain of sand
Sisters, could not sleep
Father, is a holy ghost
And there's lions in a cage
It don't matter, don't try to explain
You're just another dog to be trained,
Choke chain
You're gonna end up under tooth and nail
If you catch a tiger by the tail,
Don't fail
Brother, does not dream, anymore
Sisters, could not sleep
Transformation incomplete
Mercy killing those counting sheep
I'm the trigger, quick to fire
Punctuate betwixt the eyes
You're clever,
It ain't gonna help you
Violence is just an incomplete thought
Thrown in to a complete start, start
You're so clever, you tear us apart
Then masqueraded as arms, not smart
If you can help anyone, help yourself
That's unless you hate yourself,
And don't know
Angry ants are crawling
Makes you wanna scream
Lions clawing
Building up steam
Flesh and bone is new persuasion
This is the pathway to my destination
Gunman, where you been?
You're my: hero, saviour, psycho, slayer
Follow the leader, you lead 'em the same
Slice punctuate the frame,
Come again
It don't matter, don't try to explain
You're just a dog to be trained,
Choke chain
You're gonna end up under tooth and nail
If you catch a tiger by the tail,
Don't fail
I wanna go back but I'm still at the start
De-evolution...
