Topic: Don't touch the gun

NO I AM NOT GOING TO SHOOT ANYONE OR MYSELF, I dont even own a gun. 
some of this comes from how I feel today and the rest, maybe understanding what can drive a person to go postal or suicideal. its open to how anyone wants to relate to it.

Don’t Touch the Gun
A song about going postal

Head in hands
Hands to head
Did you wake up, 
Feeling dead?

Stretch your body
It still feels numb
Tell yourself don’t touch that gun
Won’t fix anything, it’s really dumb

Head in hands
Hands to head
Did you wake up
Feeling dead?

Walking zombie
What can you say?
Go on auto-pilot
Get through your day

Can’t feel the sunshine, don’t see the light
Only feels good closing your eyes tight
Can you feel it?
Don’t give up the fight

Walking zombie
What can you say?
Go on auto-pilot
Get through your day

Stretch your body
It still feels numb
Tell yourself don’t touch that gun
Won’t fix anything, it’s really dumb

Won’t fix anything, it’s really dumb
Won’t fix anything,,,,,,  where’s my gun?

Re: Don't touch the gun

I like it Scott

reminds me a bit of Steve Earle's song  Devil's right Hand

Re: Don't touch the gun

Beamer great lyrics I like that verse

Go on auto-pilot

All the verses are good but this one keeps playing in my head.

Thank you! I guess there are a couple good hooks in there then big_smile
I know my kid really likes it.  I told him that him and his jamming buddies could come up with music an use them, and I would do my thing (as it will be two very different type thing musically)
HOpe to get this and another one completed over the holidays.
