Trigger
The End Of Grace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Unable to pull that trigger
Can't flip you off If i gave you my hand
You cant pull the trigger If you'd only understand
I would give it all To walk amongst men
Who knew that this violence
Would kill us in the end
Who knew that this violence
Are you sleeping better now? When you've forgotten
There are no lies to hide behind, when you're forgotten
And if you fall, i will give you my hand
(I will give you my
Hand)
There are no lies to hide behind, when you're forgotten
Low and middle screams
Lost in the sea
In this world we lost
Drowned in a smile
As i turned my back
To all that shame
That formed your anger
1.48 spoken word
Wont be the one that you'll push too far
No shotgun will ever touch this heart
