Son of a Gun
Eric William Morris Lyrics

My favorite comic book, favorite comic book, favorite comic boo-oo-ook
I have a favorite comic book that I really love and enjoy.

About a guy whose hand's a hook, Guy whose hand's a hook, guy whose hand's a hoo-oo-ook
The comic book is about a character with a hook for a hand.

And he's got blood on all his shirts, Blood on all his shirts, blood on all his shir-ir-irts
The character has blood on all of his shirts because he hurts everything he touches.

Cause everything he feels he hurts, Things he feels he hurts, everything he hur-ur-urts
The character hurts everything he touches because he feels things very strongly.

But I can sympathize, I can sympathize, I can sympathi-i-ize
I can understand and relate to the character's struggles.

Cause I'm not like other guys, Not like other guys, I'm not other guy-uy-uys
I am different from other people.

I've frequently been told, Frequently been told, frequently been to-o-old
People have told me many times.

My hand is hard to hold, really hard to hold, really hard to ho-o-old
My hand is difficult to hold onto.

We'll get close and I run
I tend to run away when things get close or intimate.

I'm split decision, I'm a son of a gun
I am indecisive and hard to understand or deal with.

Think a chambers cracked, Think a chambers cracked, think a chambers cra-a-acked
I feel like there's something wrong with me, like my emotions are broken.

Cause I can't feel I just react, Yeah I just react, can't feel I rea-a-act
I struggle to feel my emotions, so I react impulsively and without thought.

When you hold me tight, hold me really tight, hold me crazy ti-i-ight
When someone holds me tightly, I feel panicked and scared.

I'll panic and I'll bite, Freak out and I'll fight, lash out ending ni-i-ight
I have a tendency to panic and become aggressive when I feel trapped or overwhelmed.

See I cut yeah, Or I run, I'm not a real man, I'm a son of a gun
I have a hard time dealing with my emotions and often try to escape or harm myself.

And I wish my trigger could withstand, The pressure of a gentle hopeful hand
I wish I could handle gentle touch without overreacting or becoming destructive.

But even the most mild touch is much too much and, Such a touch would detonate explosions right on cue
Even a gentle touch is overwhelming for me and causes me to react destructively.

That's just what I do, And that's a frightening thought, That's what I was tought
I have a fear of my own destructive tendencies and feel trapped in them.

I try to take it slow, try to take it slow, concentrate and slow-ow-ow
I try to calm myself down and take things slowly to avoid becoming overwhelmed.

Just focus on the flow, It's hard to focus though, focus on the flow-ow-ow
I try to focus on the present moment and my surroundings to stay grounded.

Then I start feeling a choke, Just ignore the choke, can't ignore the cho-o-oke
I often feel overwhelmed or suffocated by my emotions, and it's hard to ignore that feeling.

Now the room is filled with smoke, Room is filled with smoke, filled with blood and smo-o-oke
My destructive tendencies have caused a chaotic and dangerous situation.

Split decision, Harsh Reactor, Said she loved him, He attacked her
I can be unpredictable and have a history of hurting those who get close to me.

When you feel me, Girl just run, Cause I'm not a human, I'm a son of a gun
If you sense that I am becoming overwhelmed or destructive, it's best to get away from me.

Bang bang you're done
This is a warning that I am dangerous and should not be taken lightly.
