Put The Gun Down

Bullet to my brain
Before I go insane and relapse
I look into the mirror
Just hoping that somebody speaks back

Where does the story begin?
Better yet, when does it end?
Took my whole life to admit
Life ain’t about fitting in
I’d be surrounded by friends
Feeling like I was alone
This mansion that I'm living in
Just doesn’t feel like a home

As I got older
Brushed that chip off my shoulder
Just let go of my grudges
Held my family much closer
Saw the world changing colors
Like the leaves in October
I know the winter is coming
But summer's right ‘round corner

Bullet to my brain
Before I go insane and relapse
I look into the mirror
Just hoping that somebody speaks back

I just scream
Till these words come out my mouth
It’s not too late to change
There’s always time to turn it around
But first you gotta put the gun down
But first you gotta put the gun down
First you gotta put the gun down

Know what it’s like to be lost
Trying to be something I'm not
Spent life trying to be rich
With no one to spend it all on
Thought I was too far gone
Saw the world in all cons
Life ain’t a video game
Can’t get another re-spawn

So I live life to the fullest
Stopped loading these bullets
Started counting on myself
‘Cause I found out I could do it
Gotta get up and push through it
No matter how hard it’s getting
This gunshot might kill me
But it hurts everyone that it misses

Bullet to my brain
Before I go insane and relapse
I look into the mirror
Just hoping that somebody speaks back

And I just scream
Till these words come out my mouth
It’s not too late to change
There’s always time to turn it around
But first you gotta put the gun down
But first you gotta put the gun down, down

I spit the bullet from the back my mouth
And give myself another chance at living
I gotta be the one to help myself
Yeah, I'm on a mission

Tunnel vision in my brain
Before I go insane and relapse
I look into the mirror
Just hoping that somebody speaks back
(Alright, you gotta scream right here)

And I just scream
Till these words come out my mouth
It’s not too late to change
There’s always time to turn it around
But first you gotta put the gun down
But first you gotta put the gun down
But first you gotta put the gun down
