Just a Trigger Pull Away

Just a Trigger Pull Away… I analyze the situation to simplify the complication But it doesn’t get any easier to see, so I retreat within The doors are shut and I’m locked and loaded Just a trigger pull away… One solution to escape self-persecution, locked and loaded I’m just a trigger pull away from the light of better day I write the words that remain unspoken, I translate the meaning through darkened eyes And in between deepened lines I bear the weight of an unbalanced world, locked and loaded The doors are shut and I’m just a trigger pull away A trigger pull away from the night And the light of a better day…
