Ancient Pistol

[Verse 1] I've got a story to tell I hope I wear it well I've got an axe to grind Like how life ground us into dust I've got money to burn I had to wait my turn I had to learn my mind Is never something I can trust [Chorus] So I'm standing here With my naked heart And I hold it up In my shaking arms I'm not trying to die I'm just making art So don't make it hard Don't make it hard [Verse 2] It's getting hard to resist I'm feeling counterfeit And thats a threat so real It's almost something I can touch [Chorus] So I'm standing here With my naked heart And I hold it up In my shaking arms I'm not trying to die I'm just making art So don't make it hard Don't make it hard I'm just making art Don't make it hard [Verse 3] I had a story to tell I hope I told it well I had to face my fear That I was never good enough [Chorus] Now I'm standing here With my naked heart And I hold it up In my shaking arms I'm not trying to die I'm just making art So don't make it hard Don't make it hard I'm not trying to die
