Gun-Shy

The sky keeps staring at me Frozen in my tracks (Nothing else to see) And when I move my face left You're always standing there (A shadow I can't see) And even then I can't trace You're walking away I put my ears to the ground Always pushing down (Nothing I can hear) I found the worst half in me I'm cut off at the knees (Can't even take a stand) Against your words and beliefs I didn't want to freeze (All of the years, leaving me here Gun-shy) I don't want to say it all again (the pain, losing my aim) Never seem to see (And why?) Do I always feel it all the same The blisters in my eyes (Recite) A guide that has only led me stray And even as I limp (you smile) The cold keeps tearing at me Slowing down my blood (Unable to speak) I left my mind long ago Choosing something false (Always letting go) And when I try to face you You're walking away (All of the years, leaving me here Gun-shy) I don't want to say it all again (the pain, losing my aim) Never seem to see (And why?) Do I always feel it all the same The blisters in my eyes (Recite) A guide that has only led me stray And even as I limp (you smile)
