Eyedea, Abilities - Time Flies When You Have A Gun lyrics

Yeah, he used to shoot it
In the air for kicks
Promise he had perfect aim
Swore that he couldn't miss
Wore it underneath his belt because by
Law that was his right
Besides you never know what type of
Danger's hiding in the night
He said he'd never use it in a fight
He'd take a punch instead
And it made him feel at home
He used to hunt with Grandpa as a kid
As time went on he started to think more
And more about what he would do
If he was home and someone
Kicked down his door
Paranoia kept increasing
He kept imagining a tragedy
As if it was inevitable
Trying to prepare himself
For how he'd feel if he ever had to steal a
Life to save a loved one's or his own
That soul less piece of metal was the boss in
The relationship he bought it
To keep him safe but it just made him sick
And it wasn't until the day that he got
Rid of it that he felt like he was safe
No longer a slave to that piece of shit
You can own it but mostly it will own you
Yeah
You can own it but mostly it will own you, no
