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
