My Life as a Weapon

This looks bad

You can blame that on my dear old deadbeat dad

But I’m not mad

Until the arrow that I’ve notched becomes my last

One more shot

To break this carny from his cage

Even a low-life like me can break free

And save the day

So I’ll stay on target

Cuz that’s all I know how to do

As long as I’m next to you

And I know that this looks bad

But the quivering is all I’ve ever had

Like some nomad

Or a ronin dressed in black to hide the past

It never lasts

So I’m giving it the only shot I have

Draw the bow back, breathe

A moment of control

Once it flies, you never know

So

I’ll stay on target

Cuz that’s all I know how to do

Stay on target

While I’m fighting my way through

Stay on target

Cuz that’s all I know how to do

As long as I’m next to you

As long as I'm next to you

As long as I'm next to you

Not like this

When the silence sings, my sight’s my only bliss

I won’t miss

Because I’m going out in style with my greatest hits

I’m no Giant Man, but I won’t give up the fight

Until my violet violence takes flight

So I’ll stay on target

Cuz that’s all I know how to do

Stay on target

While I’m fighting my way through

Stay on target

Cuz that’s all I know how to do

As long as I’m next to you

As long as I'm next to you

As long as I'm next to you
