Warpaint

Bullets flying past me
Hitting the brick wall
But my eyes see nothing
They won’t open at all
I’m kneeling down on the ground
I slowly stand with empty hands
Finger steady as she lowers the gun
Says she don’t wanna hurt anyone
But she can’t release
She can’t release the trigger
Put your war paint on
Stomp your feet hard on the ground
Kick the dirt up to the heavens
Shoot me down
Shoot me down
She throws it deep out in the water
The moonlight makes the metal glisten in the dark
She knows now
I am not the victim
We’re equal
A tongue for a tongue
We don’t make a move afraid of the other
As the earth starts to tremble our feet start to shuffle
As the line between us stands up and starts to dance
Put your war paint on
Stomp your feet hard on the ground
Kick the dirt up to the heavens
Shoot me down shoot me down
