V5.5

[Verse 1] I found my name in the frame Cold ink on a silver round Kept it close in my pocket Like a prayer gone bad and loud I keep circling the trigger Like I owe the dark my skin Every lie that I swallowed Wants to crawl back out again [Pre-Chorus] My hands know the habit My veins know the road I keep reaching for the poison Like I miss what I hold And the night keeps grinning As it drags me in [Chorus] I wrote my name on a bullet I wrote my name on it What’s killing me is mine I wrote my name on bullet Loaded the needle in the gun And I can’t outrun the crime (It’s mine) (it’s mine) [Verse 2] One more taste, one more circle One more promise on the floor I keep building my own coffin With the key behind the door If I stare too long, I see it Every habit, every scar Not some stranger in the blackness Just my old life in the jar [Pre-Chorus] My hands know the habit My veins know the road I keep reaching for the poison Like I miss what I hold And the night keeps grinning As it drags me in [Chorus] I wrote my name on bullet Loaded the needle in the gun What’s killing me is mine I wrote my name on a bullet Loaded the needle in the gun And I can’t outrun the crime (It’s mine) (it’s mine) [Bridge] If I’m the one who fired it Then I’m the one who stops I don’t need another rescue I need these shaking hands to drop I’m pulling myself back From the edge I fed If I made this wound in daylight I can start to mend it instead [Final Chorus] I wrote my name on bullet Loaded the needle in the gun What’s killing me is mine I wrote my name on a bullet Made sure I spelled it right I wrote my name on a bullet But I’m choosing life tonight (Choose life) (choose life) I wrote my name on a bullet Loaded that needle in the gun
