machine gun

Shinedown

I m focused, I m not fragile
Yeah, the bombs are on their way
And I m too young to be finished
Doesn t matter what they say
Cause every man s ambition is another man s decay
I promise you
Something better, something sacred
Something borrowed, something true
If I can reach tomorrow, I won t take my eyes off you
And the better half of this photograph
Is all I have to hold on to

Is this a holy war?
Is this an institution?
Is this the only thing we know?
Might be a renaissance
Could be a revolution
Is this the only thing we know?

I can t stop this, but I should
If I could miss you more, I would
But instead of you, I m holding a machine gun
Instead of you, I m holding a machine gun
Machine gun

They come with drones, they come with knives
They come with mace
But I just need your calm, your soft
Your confidence and grace
To get me through this darkness
While the world is laid to waste
But I ll survive and stay alive cause no one dies today

Is this a holy war?
Is this an institution?
Is this the only thing we know?
Might be a renaissance
But this ain t a revolution
This is the only thing we know

I can t stop this, but I should
If I could miss you more, I would
But instead of you, I m holding a machine gun
Instead of you, I m holding a machine gun

I will not let you go
I just can t let you go

I can t stop this, but I should
If I could miss you more, I would
But instead of you, I m holding a machine gun
Instead of you, I m holding a machine gun
Instead of you, I m holding a machine gun
Instead of you, I m holding a machine gun
