Loose Cannon
At times I'm a loose cannon
The difference is I use pens while you use handguns
I spray in every direction but I try to be careful with who I hit
When you fire that much at once, you're due to miss
Trying to solve the puzzle but there's no clue with it
I'll find my way through eventually I'm not new to this
I'd say I dance through the storm, but truthfully sometimes I crawl
It hurts most when the person you're trying to protect is behind it all
When you're at rock bottom and the whole world laughs at the fact
You took a sword to the dragon to save her, but that fake princess left you stabbed in the back
I'm better off without some, to understand that it took me a while
I wasted so many tears on people who weren't trying to make me smile
When did being loyal and showing love go out of style?
Or am I too old fashioned with my sentiments?
It seems people no longer respect the gentleman
At times I Lack the courage so I put on a false bravado
In between all the pain, I'll throw in a line about wanting to marry Demi Lovato
Some stories don't get to be told
Sometimes you're forced to Let go of something you didn't get to hold
To some that line may be baffling
They haven't worn my shoes but like to judge the path I'm travelling
I won't lose, I'm going to prove them wrong I'm Adamant
Place your money on me if you feel like gambling
I used to hide my mental health problems because I was made to feel like they were embarrassing
They tell you men can't talk about their emotions because it's not Masculine
But I refuse to listen to people who think boxing is simply about who can punch the hardest
I've been suicidal before, so why would I fear being a target?
I'm just an artist who doesn't understand what art is
Heartless but I still know where my heart is
I don't use it much, because we live in a world that Believe the Rumour and dismiss the truth
Isn't it sad how a naked Kim Kardashian picture gets more attention than an artist speaking the truth
At this point I'm sure I've Seen Kim naked more times than Kanye West
This generation would be better off if they focused on celebrities less
Sorry but I'm trying to use my time on this planet to grow
I don't care about celebrity couples or the latest reality show
Miss me with that
Forget opinions, hit me with facts
Teach me, and help me to fix what I lack
I'll continue to use my pen in a world full of handguns
I try to remain calm but sometimes I go off like a loose cannon
