Close Range

I’m done with the heartbreak, over the lies

I never loved you, was hypnotised

I stared down the barrel, you shot at close range How am I ever gonna be the same?

No one can hurt me, don’t even try

My soul is cloaked, you can’t reach this high

I stared down the barrel, you shot at close range How am I gonna be the same?

I faded you out but you’re coming in hot You’re like a melody I thought I forgot

Cities are burning, churches collapse

I never loved you or did I perhaps?

I stared down the barrel, you shot at close range How am I ever gonna be the same?

I faded you out but you’re coming in clear Just like a symphony I used to hold dear

I faded you out, you’re still coming in hot You’re like a melody I thought I forgot

Your melody lingers, it’s like you’re around

That bittersweet trombone, that shimmering sound I know it can’t hurt me but lord how it tries

I hope I can rest once the melody dies
