Hired Guns

from Young Lions - EP by Young Lions

/

lyrics

Giving up never felt so good to me.
You’ve got ideas on how the weight of the world should feel.
I cast a stone, watched it fall just short of your feet.
You choked up blood eating fruit from the knowledge tree.

I’m the one who wants it and you’re the one who gives it away.
But in the land of the living, the dead are always willing to pay.

Those hired guns left the story still untold.
I pierced your chest, shot my eyes straight through to your soul.
Those words you said brought the strength of the battle home.
That evening meal brought more than we wanted to know.

While Mama’s storing whiskey, Daddy’s hiding guns in the well.
In the land of the living, the dead are here to drag you to hell.

You give it all you got then you give it away.
A pocket full of words, but there’s nothing to say.
And now the sun’s coming up but still there’s nothing at all
Am I the only one that feels like something is wrong?
