Just a Bullet Away Lyrics
[Intro]
One, two, three, four, one, two
[Verse 1]
All roads, they lead to shame
All drowning in the blame
All reflections look the same
In the shine of the midnight revolver
All hide beneath a skin
A hope so paper thin
I'm at the door again
And the shine of the midnight revolver
[Refrain]
Even the promise of danger has gone dull
Staring down the barrel of a .45
Suck on the barrel, suck on the barrel
Suck 'til it's gone dry
For all reflections look the same
In the shine of the midnight revolver
[Verse 2]
Redemption purify
Will nothing satisfy?
The scars just multiply
In the shine of the midnight revolver
Twisting in apocalypse
Death upon the fingertips
Frigid metal touches lips
And the shine of the midnight revolver
'Cause you lied
[Chorus]
Just a bullet away
Just a bullet away from leaving you
Just a bullet away
Stop the voices in my head
[Verse 3]
Caressing death again
Becomes the heroin
Forbidden medicine
Puts a shine on the midnight revolver
Eternal borderline
All the faces intertwine
Oh God, now I see mine
In the shine of the midnight revolver
[Pre-Chorus]
Even the promise of danger has gone dull
Staring down the barrel of a .45
Suck on the barrel, suck on the barrel
Suck, suck 'til it's dry
For all reflections look the same
In the shine of the midnight revolver
Down in misery
Down in misery
[Chorus]
Just a bullet away
Just a bullet away from leaving you
Just a bullet away
Stop the voices in my head
[Verse 4]
Oh yeah, all roads, they lead to shame
All drowning in the blame
All reflections look the same
In the shine of the midnight revolver
All hide beneath a skin
A hope so paper thin
I'm at the door again
And the shine of the midnight revolver
[Pre-Chorus]
Even the promise of danger has gone dull
Staring down the barrel of a .45
Suck on the barrel, suck on the barrel
Suck, suck 'til it's dry
Do all reflections look the same
In the shine of the midnight revolver?
'Cause you lied
Yes, you lied
[Chorus]
Just a bullet away
Just a bullet away from leaving you
Just a bullet away
Stop the voices in my head
