Darrell Webb - Pistol And The Pen lyrics

rate me

Forgive me Father

Well, goodbye cruel world

Is how this usuallystarts

When you got it in your head

to put a bullet in your heart

I’ve been here before and here I am again

Hanging in the balance between the pistol and the pen

Well, which one to choose?

Is it my choice to make?

That’s a loaded question, both can be my saving grace

I know you both as enemy and friend

Now one will be my destiny, the pistol or the pen

I’ve lost everything I’ve ever had except my sanity

And right now I’m beginning to doubt that

I’ve got steel around my finger

And I’ve come as close as taking off my hat

I’ve been driven to the edge of ink and lead

If I use one I’m only dying, use the other and I’m dead

But at least this hell’s a hell that has an end

So there’s really no decision between the pistol and the pen

I’ve lost everything I’ve ever had except my sanity

And right now I’m beginning to doubt that

I’ve got steal around my finger

And I’ve come as close as taking off my hat

Well how strange to see myself in black and white

With an empty smoking pistol thinking words I didn’t write

I’d give anything to have the choice again

Oh but once you choose the pistol you can never choose the pen

Well, goodbye cruel world

It’s had this useless start

When you’ve got it in your head

To put a bullet in your heart

I’ve been here before and here I am again

Hanging in the balance between the pistol and the pen

Well, which one to choose, is it my choice to make?

That’s a loaded question, both can be my saving grace

I’d only meet you as enemy and friend

Now one will be my destiny, the pistol or the pen
