How did it come to this
I find myself sick and tired
Yet I can't resist
Calling you out you liar.
Now that you know that i know
How you lie and blackmail your way through life
It's clear you're afraid oh it shows
So now like a cornered animal you try and bite
Oh it's on let's cock back these jaws of ours and fire words like bullets still
The last man who's standing will walk away wounded
And everyone else fails to see why we can't stop
Now every word you twist gouge open my wounds wider
You didn't think that these metaphors would misfire
While sticks and stones they may break bones
When these words hit home they will end your life
Cuz' I've got some words no-one knows and they're all about you
and your lies
So be careful cuz' I just might let them slip
That's what it is this time I'll shoot to kill
I've bit my tongue for so long my mouth is blood filled.
I know something you don't know that I know about you
(so now I'm bullet proof)
So now I'm bullet proof
