Barrel of a Gun by Michael Wade
Last night I looked down the barrel of a gun Looking for my time Seeing if life has rhythm to its rhyme As I looked down that dark hole That barrel, dark & cold No hands to hold No dreams to chase All I've seen All I've done Has led me looking down the barrel of this gun We can blame the woes of this rabbit hole For if this is today My tomorrow may never come For even in death lies no consistency Nothing as consistent as looking down the barrel of this gun No braver moment than now No questioning of the man in me I'll be more than you imagined Only because I was not much to see I will have beaten pride A victory forever permanent ...all down the barrel of this gun No comebacks No returns No retreat I've surrendered..... To the barrel of this gun
