The Shot Heard Round The World
You took the shot and I felt it
They all left and just melted
I took the shot and you felt it
They all left and just melted
We destroy ourselves
Peacefully becoming nothing
Your mind is slowly erased
Replaced with an empty space
In case you care, I know you don’t
Why doesn’t anyone care?
A shot was heard round the world
Feel it in everyone’s head, in their veins
Another shot down, round the world
Hear it in everyone’s tears, in their veins
You took the shot and I felt it
They all left and just melted
I took the shot and you felt it
They all left and just melted
They love to kill themselves
To pack their lives up on shelves
Out of the ground, into the sky
Only to kiss the dirt and lie
Struggle against the strong grapevines
Give in again to the strong fine lines
A shot was heard round the world
Feel it in everyone’s head, in their veins
Another shot down, round the world
Hear it in everyone’s tears, in their veins
You took the shot and I felt it
They all left and just melted
I took the shot and you felt it
They all left and just melted
