[Verse 1: Bert McCracken]
It felt so heavy in my hands
Looking scary through your window
It wasn't really what I planned
I didn't think it'd be so simple
[Pre-Chorus: Bert McCracken]
Blow me away
You wanna blow me away
Away, away
[Chorus: Bert McCracken]
What if you found a gun?
Would you use it like I did?
Put a bullet in my head
I don't think you could
No, it isn't in your blood
The little boy inside my head
What if you found a gun?
[Verse 2: Bert McCracken]
Look what I did, I made a mess
Blood on my hands is sentimental
Could be that I was just depressed
It's never ever gonna end, no
[Pre-Chorus: Bert McCracken]
Blow me away
You wanna blow me away
Away
[Chorus: Bert McCracken]
What if you found a gun?
Would you use it like I did?
Put a bullet in my head
I don't think you could
No, it isn't in your blood
The little boy inside my head
What if you found a gun?
[Bridge: Jason Butler]
Imagine if you found it
Yeah, imagine if you found it
Like, wonder what that would sound like
I wanna hear that blow my mind
Into my hands, oh
Oh, I wanna hear that blow my mind
[Chorus: Bert McCracken]
What if you found a gun?
Would you use it like I did?
Put a bullet in my head
I don't think you could
No, it isn't in your blood
The little boy inside my head
What if you found a gun?
[Outro: Jason Butler]
See, I am the reason for
All the things that you do
See, I am the reason that
There is a killer in you
See, I am the reason that
You do what you do
Fuck all of the reasons that
There's a killer in you
Fuck the, the killer in you
Fuck the, the killer in you
Blow Me was written by Bert McCracken & John Feldmann & Joey Bradford & Jeph Howard & Jason Aalon Butler & E. Kidd Bogart & Dan Whitesides.

Bert McCracken said this about the song:
Whether metaphorically signifying the power of words in general or magnifying concern for the situation of societal gun violence, we urge the fans of our music to find individual and personal meaning in all of our songs.
He also told Kerrang:
In the world...
