GRiZ, Leo Napier - Barrel of a Gun lyrics

Every I time I see the sunshine, oh yeah

When I was a young man
Thought I was a genius
Thought everything I thought was a gift
Couldn't be taught
Now I know I was just arrogant
When I was a young man
Thought I could do anything
Thought I could go to space
Thought I could be police
Thought I could be the president
Well maybe it was bad luck
Maybe there was bad drugs
But I came reticent
I was sticking out my chest
But lacking that finesse
Lacking that experience, aw yeah

Though I know I'm going blind
I can't stop staring at the sun
The only paradise is find is
The barrel of a gun (Make the sun shine)

The only way the sun is gonna shine

Nobody's gonna save me, nobody
'cept for me, yeah
Nobody's gonna hand me a
Check for fifty grand
And pull me from the deep end
I might be goin' crazy
This room is going wavy
But I'll be searchin' through my mind
For that peace I left behind
'Til I'm pushin' up the daisies
At least I got my shadow, yeah
Shepherd to the promise land
Give me sanctuary
Where still waters carry my soul
Away from flooding rains
Oh, it's bound to break a levee, oh now

Take back all your borrowed time
I think I finally had my fun
The only paradise I've yet to find
Is the barrel of a gun
The only high that's worth my time
Is the barrel of a gun
The only way the sun is gonna shine
Is through the barrel of a gun

Least I got my shadow, yeah
The only way the sun is gonna shine
Take back all your borrowed time
The only high that's worth my time
Give me sanctuary
I can't stop staring at the sun
