the bullet
flies into
my heart
rips it apart
then to the other side
the pain reminds me i am alive
all your words
can’t change me
all your lies
can’t conform me
all your ability not to see
makes me bleed
more
makes me work
longer makes me
sleep less
makes me dream more
the bullet flies
into my heart and out the other side
this is how i know i am still alive
when i feel the pain
when i am moved
when i refuse to
grow numb
the struggle
to stand in a world
where i am encouraged
to give in
to fall
i see the burning crosses
i see the churches turning
i hear the saints screaming
and the babies crying
i feel the bullet
and it wont kill me
i can’t die cause
i believe in eternity
so the bullet
never will scare me
never will keep me from
digging up and pulling on
i refuse to be
one of those
who dies
i would rather feel a bullet
go through my skin
than to give in
and be anything
but who i am
to give up what i believe
is treason
and i would rather
have a bullet
go into me
than to live
in a lie
i would rather die
than to sell myself
i would rather live
without fear
than to fear
really living
so the bullet
flies into me
in a dream but
death never scared me
cause i believe in eternity
i believe that nothing
here matters except
what we can’t see
i believe in eternity
so death doesn’t scare me
the bullet
never scared me
go ahead
and try to stop me
but you can’t kill a soul so the
bullet flies into me
and out the other side
the soul lingers on
long after i am gone
what is life
if i am afraid to die
what is life if i
give up my belief
and fall into conformity
so the bullet doesn’t
scare me
mother don’t cry for me
don’t worry
i wont die
unless it is meant to be
for all has a season
and all has a reason
so don’t worry about me
the bullet flies
comes inside
and goes out
through the other side
but nothing can contain me
nothing can kill me
cause i believe in eternity
and my body may pass away
but my soul will continue on
so now what is life
unless i am not afraid to die
what is it to live unless
i am able to give
how can i give unless
i am not afraid to lose it all
to fall into the blue
to let go and know not what will come
or what i will do
so the bullet
comes to me
passes into me
and out the other end
i believe there is no end
the soul continues on
long after my body is gone
so nothing now can hold me down
cause i am not afraid of death so
what fear is left
the bullet
has nothing
to do but set me
free from all the things
that hold me to this place
but i believe in eternity so
nothing can harm me
cause from here
i continue on
