Why Do I Hit You So
Razor's edge makes lines on the mirror
Bullet in the barrel tantalizes
Adrenaline rushes
Euphoria beckons
Grace reaches out
Always reaches out
But can you feel it?
No food on the table
No money in the bank
Eviction notice on the door
What am I here for?
Grace reaches out
Always reaches out
But will you receive it?
Whiskey bottle hasn't been touched
Explosives strapped to your chest
You walk into that crowded place
Handgun, loaded in pocket, just in case
Grace reaches out
Always reaches out
But do you get it?
Can you feel it?
Will you receive it?
Do you get it?
Why do I hit you so hard?
Adrenaline rushes
Straw snorts
Euphoria beckons
Pull that trigger
Release that bullet
What will you feel
As it passes through your brain?
Why do I hit you so hard?
Always reaches out
Grace does.
