Shoot To Kill
Press me in
Turn me out
Fill me up with doubt
I’m a blank slate here
You can write it in clear
Who you think I am
What I’m all about
One word can tear my walls down
And one chance can turn my fate around
A moment can take you away
Take you to a better day
It’s all by chance
So I think I’ll roll the die
Pray I may advance
Cause I’m just getting by
Truth is I don’t know what I’m doing here
I’m not seeing anything clear
It all goes dark and I lose my sight
I know it’s time to stand and fight
Cause when all that mattered is lost
And the monsters steal your will
You’ve got to count the cost
And just shoot to kill
