Shots Fired


Click click boom!

Shots fired

Your mouth was the gun

Your voice was the trigger

And your words were the bullets

 

Click click boom!

You aimed for my mental pain

And I’m not gonna lie

That

You gained

 

Click click boom!

It’s rapid fire And you never missed a shot

Ok I get it I know I'm not a lot

 

Click click boom!

Stop it!

You’ve done your damage

You broke me

But I think it’s time you stop

Please!

 

Click click boom!

I asked you to stop

Now the tables have turned

And I shot that shot

 

Click click boom!

I guess you forgot I have a gun too

It’s filled with ammunition

All aimed for you

 

Click click boom!

Wait who shot that shot?

We’re both damaged

Now what do we’ve got?

 

Wait, pause

What are we doin’?

Tearing each other down

For what?

To see who can cause hurt more?

Well we both opened that door

And now we’re lost in the crossfire

And no one’s ranked higher

Because we both lost

We killed each other off

 

Click click boom!

shots fired

Our mouths were the gun

Our voices were the trigger

And our words were the bullets

WE aimed for mental pain

And that, we gained

Cause now no one’s the same

WE did our damage

WE shot too well

WE ruined each other

And now others are fishing to dwell

On our pain

That WE caused

They wanna kill us off

But, we’ve already done that job
