Barrel of a Gun

Don't make me pull it. You push my head against the wall.

Told me to breathe, told me to crawl. You called it

mercy when you lied, but I saw murder in your eyes.

You twist my shame like severed rope. You drain my veins and call

it hope. I tried to stand, you broke my knees.

You made your ribbon out of me. You want control. I feel the

gun. You want control. I feel the gun. Barrel of a

gun. Pressed against my fate. Barrel of a gun.
