With weapons we demand
Respect in a moment
The gun I hold
Kept neatly under the bed
The safety she brings
Feeling the fear
A stranger coming near
Endangering
The house
The middle of the night
I can pull her out
With all my might
Holding this gun to you
Commanding attention
To pull this trigger
Shooting the pain away
The darkness creeps today
My gun
My salvation in sleep
Awaiting the bullets to spray
Since she's been gone
The fear still skips along
No more near she is
Reach into the night for you
They took you away
The past
The money
The pills
The lies
The deceit
The pain
My protection
Against the night
My gun alone
In some storage tank
Missing your shiny bullets
As I sleep
Reaching for you
In nightmares
Your case still sits on the shelf
The case where you lived
Now sits alone
And silent
The place where my gun
Once lived
