[Verse 1]
I always say, I always say that it's the last time
A promise I can't keep
I always say I'll get a grip and it'll be fine
But I lie straight through my teeth
And though I try and do it right with my intentions
Keep them good, they never break, but I still bend 'em
'Cause this devil on my shoulder wants to pull me underneath
[Pre-Chorus]
Another sleepless night
Staring through the ceiling
I'm wondering how could I
Calm my head? Yeah
Calm my head 'cause
[Chorus]
I see red
My blood is boiling and it shows
And all you are is a weapon
You shoot 'em down 'til you end up alone
I seem fine
But I can't take the highs and the lows
All I am is a weapon
I shoot 'em down 'til I end up alone
[Verse 2]
I always say I hate the way you look at me now
And I swear I didn't mean to be a let down
What I broke can't be fixed with
All my sorry excuses, no
[Pre-Chorus]
Another sleepless night
Staring through the ceiling
I'm wondering how could I
Calm my head? Yeah
Calm my head 'cause
[Chorus]
I see red
My blood is boiling and it shows
And all you are is a weapon
You shoot 'em down 'til you end up alone
I seem fine
But I can't take the highs and the lows
All I am is a weapon
I shoot 'em down 'til I end up alone
[Bridge]
No, I won't go under
No, I won't back down
Bittersweet surrender
Everything is better now
No, I won't go under
No, I won't back down
Bittersweet surrender
It's better now
[Chorus]
I see red
My blood is boiling and it shows
And all you are is a weapon
You shoot 'em down 'til you end up alone
I seem fine
But I can't take the highs and the lows
All I am is a weapon
I shoot 'em down 'til I end up alone
[Outro]
All I am is a weapon
I shoot 'em down 'til I end up alone
All I am is a weapon
I shoot 'em down 'til I end up alone

Against The Current released weapon on Wed Mar 10 2021.
This is my favorite song we’ve ever released. It’s about a really fucking brutal mental health battle I’ve had since I was little, but that was so massively amplified the last couple of years. Thank you for just even giving it the time of day, it means everything to me.
I don’t think I’ve ever been...
“weapon” was the first song we wrote when the lockdowns began last year, so to finally be putting this song out into the world feels euphoric. This song was born in a time of uncertainty, when the world felt darkest and yet so much passion went into creating it. We’re so proud to finally be releasin...
