Pulling out my six-shooter, Loading it slowly, The smooth brass is cold in my hand, And I snap the cylinder in. Pulling back the hammer, I wait in silence, Running my fingers across the trigger guard. Waiting...waiting...waiting. The clock strikes midnight. I can no longer wait, As I flip the safety off, Sleek metal barrel shining. Pointed at my head, I shut my eyes. I don't want to watch myself, As I take my own life. Remembering back to the day before; As my drum sticks slipped out of my hands. I thought something special was there, But I had wronged everything right, in my own mind. I left my dreams, my instrumental love. Newfound friends now drip in tears, Assembling at my dark funeral. The man I wanted nowhere to be seen.

Six shooters and Drumsticks
Pulling out my six-shooter, Loading it slowly, The smooth brass is cold in my hand, And I snap the cylinder in. Pulling back the hammer, I wait in silence, Running my fingers across the trigger guard. Waiting...waiting...waiting. The clock strikes midnight. I can no longer wait, As I flip the safety off, Sleek metal barrel shining. Pointed at my head, I shut my eyes. I don't want to watch myself, As I take my own life. Remembering back to the day before; As my drum sticks slipped out of my hands. I thought something special was there, But I had wronged everything right, in my own mind. I left my dreams, my instrumental love. Newfound friends now drip in tears, Assembling at my dark funeral. The man I wanted nowhere to be seen.
