Barrel of a Gun Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Do you mean this horny creep
Set upon weary feet
Who looks in need of sleep
That doesn't come?

[Verse 2]
This twisted, tortured mess
This bed of sinfulness
Who's longing for some rest
And feeling numb

[Pre-Chorus]
What do you expect of me?
What is it you want?
Whatever you've planned for me
I'm not the one

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
A vicious appetite
Visits me each night
And won't be satisfied
Won't be denied

[Verse 4]
An unbearable pain
A beating in my brain
That leaves the mark of Cain
Right here inside

[Pre-Chorus]
What am I supposed to do
When everything that I've done
Is leading me to conclude
I'm not the one?

[Chorus]
Whatever I've done
I've been staring down the barrel of a gun
Whatever I've done
I've been staring down the barrel of a gun
Whatever I've done (Whatever, whatever)

[Pre-Chorus]
Is there something you need from me?
Are you having your fun?
I never agreed to be
Your holy one

[Chorus]
Whatever I've done
I've been staring down the barrel of a gun
Whatever I've done (Whatever, whatever)
I've been staring down the barrel of a gun
Whatever I've done (Whatever, whatever)
I've been staring down the barrel of a gun

Dave told EW in 2017:

This was a weird time for me. I wasn’t feeling particularly confident during the making of Ultra, and I had some rough times during it. In the middle of making it we stopped completely, and I had to go into a treatment place to get taken care of. I also got arrested during the...
