A Shoot Off In Your Room

do you feel me, do you feel my energy?
do i linger in your sheets when I’m gone?
have you ever felt tension ache your bones?
can you taste the gunpowder on my tounge?

Are you infiltrating? Are you raiding my city?
trying to destroy every one of my walls
Theres a haze from your grenades and your bombs
But still a fortress around your heart

I'm not the enemy
your lips brush my cheek
you ambush my mind, I can't run

a shoot off in your room
my eyes on you
my lips will be the gun 
ill take you down without a sound
but your pain is always numbed 
and after all is said and done
when i am out of ammo
words and games, you’ll take your aim
and pierce me like I’m hollow

do you feel me? do you feel my energy?
Can I seige your thoughts with this song?
Would you lay your weapons down and surrender
Raise your white flag stained with my love?

Can you hear me? Are you listening?
I think its time for you to come home
Our nation is torn, i dont want to wage war
this battles gone on for too long

Im begging for peace
as you sleep and dream
I don't want blood on my hands anymore.

a shoot off in your room
my eyes on you
my lips will be the gun 
ill take you down without a sound
but your pain is always numbed 
and after all is said and done
when i am out of ammo
words and games, you’ll take your aim
and pierce me like I’m hollow

i’m bleeding from every hole you put in me 
i’m begging for you to come save me
but you’re leaving
you’re leaving me tonight
and all those tears I cried
You’ve gunned me down for the last time

a shoot off in your room
my eyes on you
my lips are still the gun
ill take you down without a sound
this time i swear I’m done
my words like bullets
locked and loaded 
I aim straight for your heart
cold and stone 
i should’ve known 
You’ve been hollow from the start
