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
