Blindfolds Aside

We woke up as men, but tonight Tonight we'll sleep as killers As we break the cryptic morning With a bullet and a prayer The steel never seemed more cold and agile than now And life never seems less vital and fragile With a heart that's beating louder than my own I watch a girl they call Kezia I watch a woman that I know My hopes and my own future blindfolded To atone (to atone) for a sin I didn't care for But a sin that paid my debts A sin that fed my children And burned my smiles and cigarettes And no one ever said that hope would be so beautiful And no one ever said I'd have to pull the trigger, on her Five soldiers, forever sedated with the "No one's responsible" pathological drama Of our social justice dribble, dribble, dribble... Her tiny steps (Resurrect) Tell lies (A static lifetime) The choice (To starve) I have (To death) To make (My own mistakes) Pull the screaming trigger Watch your carcass bleed me dry Or drop the gun And try to shake away the blindfold from your eyes Drop the gun, drop the gun Drop the gun, drop the gun Sin I didn't care for But a sin that paid my debts A sin that fed my children And burned my smiles and cigarettes Sin I didn't care for But a sin that paid my debts A sin that fed my children And burned my smiles and cigarettes
