Lyrics
I sat down where the sun gave out, Laid my gun and doubt side by side Counted rounds and what I lost — Turns out they weigh the same in cost
The trigger’s light, my head is full, Of things I swore were mine to pull But every name slips through the smoke, Like voices gone before they spoke
One bullet short of a thought worth keeping One dream died, and the rest went creeping The hammer’s back, the world’s gone thin — I don’t recall how long it’s been If peace is real, it ain’t worth weeping — I’m one bullet short of a thought worth keeping
I found a note I’d wrote in blood, Signed with a name I can’t make up My horse don’t follow when I call, Guess even beasts forget us all
She said I’d leave before I cracked — But madness moves, it don’t ride back Now I just sit, the chamber bare, Talkin’ to ghosts that ain’t even there
One bullet short of a thought worth keeping Just dust and noise and silent pleading My hands still work, but faith don’t spark — This world keeps turning past the dark I ain’t afraid, I just feel leaking — One bullet short of a thought worth keeping
I had a plan, or so I thought… But thinking’s what the silence caught
One bullet short of a thought worth keeping The road ran out, the edge keeps steeping I smile like someone halfway gone, Like memory’s fading into dawn I never had the gift of sleeping — Just one bullet short of a thought worth keeping
