lyrics

you oughta see now, it was hopeless to grieve
lay down your fees and the american scream in your head
a smile to yourself is worth more than a smile to me
i heard you laugh a little too loud to believe

if you could unload the gun
you'd still stare it down
just to be sure

here's some advice, stop taking advice
lay down your prescriptions, lay down your caffiene
lay them next to me, i mean
if you don't like the view, i'll put you up a mirror
and you can see there's no safety in truth
there's no real win or lose
and you don't have to worry if your wallet has a bruise

if you could unload the gun
you'd still stare it down
just to be sure
and still you'd try and vacate every chamber
what would you do?

the city's in stacks so you gotta stand tall to be seen at all
you're not someone you could smile to like you once supposed
if you don't have a joke then i better hear you laughing
cause we're three verses deep and your eyes are still closed

if you could unload the gun
you'd still stare it down
even if your smile could support your crown
and still you'd try and vacate every chamber
and still you'd try and vacate every chamber
what would you do?
