lyrics
Sat behind a wooden desk
Another wooden soldier set to
War with what she wants and what she needs.
Crushed beneath the weight of all the
Life that sits atop her
Barely flinching as she bleeds.
Barely flinching as she bleeds.
Bitterly she draws her weapon
Points it at the night and fires
Hoping that she’ll blindly hit her mark.
Don’t care what she’s hitting
Just as long as someone pays.
Just a bullet in the dark.
Just a bullet in the dark.
PRECHORUS (3x)
Devil’s left his chamber and he’s coming for a round.
CHORUS (2x)
Bone dry, down to die,
Too hurt to laugh, too numb to cry,
Too worn down to even try
To keep on keeping on
Drawing down against the sun
The heat’ll slow the bullet’s run
All it needs to move is just a spark.
Don’t care what it’s hitting,
Just as long as someone pays.
Just a bullet in the dark.
Just a bullet in the dark.
PRECHORUS (3x)
CHORUS (4x)
Another wooden soldier set to
War with what she wants and what she needs.
Crushed beneath the weight of all the
Life that sits atop her
Barely flinching as she bleeds.
Barely flinching as she bleeds.
Bitterly she draws her weapon
Points it at the night and fires
Hoping that she’ll blindly hit her mark.
Don’t care what she’s hitting
Just as long as someone pays.
Just a bullet in the dark.
Just a bullet in the dark.
PRECHORUS (3x)
Devil’s left his chamber and he’s coming for a round.
CHORUS (2x)
Bone dry, down to die,
Too hurt to laugh, too numb to cry,
Too worn down to even try
To keep on keeping on
Drawing down against the sun
The heat’ll slow the bullet’s run
All it needs to move is just a spark.
Don’t care what it’s hitting,
Just as long as someone pays.
Just a bullet in the dark.
Just a bullet in the dark.
