How did it feel when it came alive and took you Out of the black? It broke your skin and shook through Every part of me, every part of you You made a fool out of me And took the skin off my back running So don't breathe when I talk 'Cause you haven't been spoken to I've got a gun for a mouth And a bullet with your name on it But a trigger for a heartbeat And blood for an empty pocket I never knew why and you didn't care when It closed every door, I watched them wait And I promised you like you promised me But those vows we made fucked it up for free You made a fool out of me And took the skin off my back running So don't breathe when I talk 'Cause you haven't been spoken to I've got a gun for a mouth And a bullet with your name on it But a trigger for a heartbeat And blood for an empty pocket You made a fool out of me And took the skin off my back running So don't breathe when I talk 'Cause you haven't been spoken to I've got a gun for a mouth And a bullet with your name on it But a trigger for a heartbeat And blood for an empty pocket And it's hard to slow Never lets you go
