How did it come down to this?
I can't be sure of
What it was I missed
The flags weren't flying

Wait it out or fight?
This could never end
Maybe either way I die
There's nothing left here to defend

Chorus:
I could not breathe without inhaling a bullet
God knows I've tried
You cut me down right to my face and I took it
But now it's time
Time to put this to an end
So that I can breathe again

I feel the tension build
In my trigger finger
Before you shoot to kill
Should I open fire?

You left me with no choice
It's not what I want
Tried to kill me with your voice
I'll do what I have to

Chorus:
I could not breathe without inhaling a bullet
God knows I've tried
You cut me down right to my face and I took it
But now it's time
Time to put this to an end
So that I can breathe again
