Waving Your Guns

from Beneath the Cauldron (2021) by Blake Starkey

/

lyrics

True it is you feel blue
With grey skies and dark clouds
Hanging over you
Lost inside of your head
Drifting off to the depths of hell
Your lips silent and cold
Lying in the dark but you’re just all alone
This is nothing that’s new
Like a puppet tied to a lonely string

In the dark on your own
Burning up the wires of an empty phone
Your eyes lit up with joy
Waving your guns at someone new
Your eyes cut to the bone
Like a tombstone that’s dressed up in pale shadows
Leave you here wearing you wounds
Waving your guns at someone new

False it is I love you
Ominous clouds and weird vibes surrounding you
In the eye of the storm
Like a white sail shaking you out to sea
Your eyes deadly and cold
Out to space like a creepy old china doll
This is nothing that’s new
Old habits that surely will die hard

In the dark on your own
Burning up the wires of an empty phone
Your eyes lit up with joy
Waving your guns at someone new
Your eyes cut to the bone
Like a tombstone that’s dressed up in pale shadows
Leave you here wearing you wounds
Waving your guns at someone new

Do you know, do you know, do you know
A place unseen?
Do you know, do you know, do you know
A place of dreams?
Do you know, do you know, do you know
An end in sight?
Do you know, do you know, do you know
A dark night of the soul?

Writhing in pain with temporary fixes
Based on nothing but futile distractions
Detained in darkness and isolation
Riddled with demons by affiliation


In the dark on your own
Burning up the wires of an empty phone
Your eyes lit up with joy
Waving your guns at someone new
Your eyes cut to the bone
Like a tombstone that’s dressed up in pale shadows
Leave you here wearing you wounds
Waving your guns at someone new

Do you know, do you know, do you know
A place unseen?
Do you know, do you know, do you know
A place of dreams?
Do you know, do you know, do you know
An end in sight?
Do you know, do you know, do you know
A dark night of the soul?
