Lyrics
painted yourself into a corner once again
same old story that just never seems to end
one night of whiskey one night of lies
the paint will dry and you'll realize
this life you lead is not your own
you're displaced by the memories that you've outgrown.
you're a loaded gun
you're a loaded gun
everywhere you go and everyone you see
just reminds you of what your life's supposed to be
you tasted freedom and you taste revenge
the taste is sweeter in the bitter end
this life we lead is not our own
we're displaced by the memories that we've outgrown
