Dissociatives | Lyrics | Somewhere Down the Barrel

Somewhere from the mortar, they saved you from far away labels
Eternity means nothing but a sign on a bridge
When everyone's a stranger, they call for you by your first name
And laugh at jokes you once made when you were a kid

Somewhere down the barrel, lies a bullet that I can't keep
And in these waters I'm wading for a reason
After all, it's in my head, I'm not a slave to a desperate lust
And in these waters I'm waiting for a reason after all

Screaming limitations fall silent on New York corners
A terrorist's a prisoner, and a tourist a thief
When paintings seem like bargains but they're nothing but wallpaper
I'm plagued by small town fascists like a rash on my skin

Somewhere down the barrel, lies a bullet that I can't keep
And in these waters I'm wading for a reason
After all, it's in my head, I'm not a slave to a desperate lust
And in these waters I'm waiting for a reason after all, after all, after all
