This Shattered Symphony

Oh, I'm giving up the one I love

I'll conduct the great disaster

To scar my skin to own this hurt



They offered their hearts

and we tore them apart

They offered their blood

and we left them so parched

I don't know if I can give you anything you want



Go on and give me the gun!

Never mind what I've done

They've left me no choice,

oh, they left me no choice



Go on and give me the gun!

Let me blow them open

It's out of my reach,

Never mind what they think about me



I don't want to say

that with mercy we decay

Converging closer and faster

Does all I touch turn to dust?



And she confessed her love

Only I shut her out

as I took all her words

and allowed them to rust

I don't know if I'm the man you truly want to love



Go on and give me the gun!

Never mind what I've done

They've left me no choice,

oh, they left me no choice



Go on and give me the gun!

Let me blow them open

It's out of my reach,

Never mind what they think about me



Little have they learned anything about me

Meddling eyes that judge mistakes

What awful things they say

When backs are turned and no one's looking



Go on and give me the gun!

Never mind what I've done

They've left me no choice,

oh, they left me no choice



Go on and give me the gun!

Let me blow them open

It's out of my reach,

Never mind what they think about me
