lyrics

Why am I here? Said the bullet to himself
Thought it a dream but then
Heard a bang, my ears rang, and I woke up someplace new
Then a voice said aloud
What are you doing here, we never called for you

Sorry to disturb but I was sent, my master called so I went
Sorry to say you've got to go so soon, but there's just not enough room

Bullets don't have names just a destination,
So I came here because here is where I was sent
Don't know the why, trust me if I knew I would tell you (promise)
I'm just a pawn in someone else's game

Could you leave? I can't beat with you syncopating me
Complications, palpitations, circulations all off key
Sorry I'm just a bullet, gun cocks I fly when he shoots it
But I can't move on my own agenda, did I mention I'm

Bullets don't have names just a destination
so you came here because here is where you were sent
Don't know the why, I trust if you knew you'd tell me (sincerely)
You're just a pawn in somebody's game, from barrel to blame

The heartbeat beat until his time was gone
The bullet knew on his shoulders the blame sat on
His friend was gone so he cried, he cried, he cried
He never thought that he was meant to take a life

The only life he spent time with
In a life he never wanted
but life don't look good from here

His friend was gone (he took his life)
Your foe is not me but the man holding the gun
(I'm not the one who took your life)
