Now my mind is so unsafe
Bottom line, be safe
Be sure your clip is full
Cause you never know
When it's going to get real
Showing up behind or beside
Eyes holding my face
Direction is irrelevant
Relevancy is crystal clear
Only once
Just once
Steel threatens flesh
Hit or miss
You gunna risk the odds?
Rip up those Hallmark cards
This here is a new greeting
Staring face to face
Grinding on a mouthful
Of copper nails
Some shooter jumping
All around you
Gun sideways Living real close
Whispers instant caution
I press towards his afterlife
The smell of hate
Lingers
As the face off begins
Know how to mean
How in the world
Mean can be
Stay in the shadow
Of black
Be that strong bone
In the flesh
You are
Thoughts all now
Turned black and blue
Must always remember
The most important
Thing in life
Is to stay
Alive
Looking now for barracuda
On the concrete
Now both stand it right on off
Someone must use their pistol
Take that
And eat it
Who?
He staggers now
Cracked up
Heading by floatation
Towards being
Invisible
Feeling Impossibly small
Jabbed in place
It's now my call
It's now my call
It's now my call
It's now my call
It's now my call
It's now my call
It's now my call
