I divided the memory to six
I shot to miss, I shot to miss
Facing down the abyss
I shot to miss, I shot to miss

Waking to daybreak, a heart compensates
A mind set to break, spyglass and mistake
Forgo my sunrise for what I surmise
Is just a reprise for still unwise eyes
Stagger and retake the still burning ache
Use it to remake, leave naught in your wake
As the hammer chimes, establish baseline
An end that's entwined, this denouement of mine

Heart stops, gun cocked
I still want what I lost
But I know, if that's shown
Then I lose

I divided the memory to six
I shot to miss, I shot to miss
Facing down the abyss
I shot to miss, I shot to miss
Crosshair, pointing nowhere
Trying to forget
For ignorance is my bliss
I shot to miss, I shot to miss

Eyes on what I'd known, or thought I had known
A mind I'd made up, the stone already thrown
Ash and bone marrow, chasing a shadow
Muzzle reeling smoke, consequence of hope
Fingernails break skin, still found pride therein
Content to let it sit and watch the barrel spin
A new morning blooms, just as I assumed
It leaves me entombed in this shell I can't defy

Heart stops, gun cocked
At what cost do I haunt?
But I know to ask so
It would be too wise

I divided the memory to six
I shot to miss, I shot to miss
Facing down the abyss
I shot to miss, I shot to miss
Crosshair, pointing nowhere
Trying to forget
For ignorance is my bliss
I shot to miss, I shot to miss

Heart stops, gun cocked
I still want what I lost
But I know, if that's shown
Then I lose

Heart stops, gun cocked
The name drops, the world halts
And I'll go too far so
I know that it's real

Heart stops, gun cocked
Can't stay here at any cost
But I know, I wont let go
The rest of my life

I divided the memory to six
I shot to miss, I shot to miss
Facing down the abyss
I shot to miss, I shot to miss
Crosshair, pointing nowhere
Trying to forget
For ignorance is my bliss
I shot to miss, I shot to miss
