Gun on the table,
Not a soul wills me to speak...
But you, you will listen...
Gun on the table,
Are you really as cold
As they say you are?
Gun on the table,
I sit beside you
And wonder about my life
Gun in my hand,
Will nothing go my way?
Am I trapped in the Vacuum,
The nothingness I call reality?
Gun in my hand,
What is my purpose in life
When every dream of mine is crushed?
Is there really more to life than this?
Gun in my hand,
I think about these things
And I come to realize...
Gun in my hand,
You are not so cold...
Gun at my head,
I wonder what it's like
On the other side
Never to see this world again
Gun at my head,
Is this it?
A simple quiver of my finger
Is all it takes...
Gun at my head,
What will happen after?
Will it all have been in vain?
Is this the only way?
Gun in my hand,
What am I to do?
Nothing has ever been right,
But will that be for good?
Gun in my hand,
What about the ones I love?
Will they mourn for my loss
Or scorn for the life I lived?
Gun in my hand,
Why do I not have the power
To take myself away?
Where is the strength I thought I had?
Gun on the table,
It is here, the strength I have,
For now I see that it is not in death,
But living.
Gun on the table,
I now realize,
The life I have to live,
The precious, God-given gift,
Is only given once.
Gun on the table,
I have so much to live for,
The simple beauty of the world
Will set me free,
And the sun will come out
After the storm.
