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 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 up
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 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 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
In this shattered symphony
In this shattered symphony

Give me the gun!
