How to Take a Life

HOW TO TAKE A LIFE

by jeremy vess

I found myself
Looking down the barrel of a smoking gun
Finding I could get hurt and then hurt some one

And I do confess
That I took my aim so carefully
Oh I plotted and schemed
Put the blame on me

And I do admit
I wasn't wrong
But I wasn't right
To kill someone

You bottle your hurt
Throw up your pride
Disconnect, then run and hide

Just hate your brother to take a life

In the mirror it starts to show
Though the poison I took was slow
It attacks your heart
Then takes your mind

And I do admit
I wasn't wrong
But I wasn't right
To kill someone

You bottle your hurt
Throw up your pride
Disconnect, then run and hide

Just hate your brother to take a life


Brother in the night
Your face haunts my dreams and stalks my life
Sister I want you to know
That I won't hate you anymore
I'm letting you go
As I should have before


And I do admit
I wasn't wrong
But I wasn't right
To kill someone

You bottle your hurt
Throw up your pride
Disconnect, then run and hide

Just hate your brother to take a life
