Love Is A Loaded Gun

[Verse 1]
You slam the door
I slam my fist
You say I never listen
I say you don’t exist
Every sentence
Cuts like glass
You twist the knife
I drag up the past
[Chorus]
Love is a loaded gun
Pointed right at us
Finger on the trigger
Shaking in disgust
We used to be a shelter
Now we’re begging for the floor
When words turn to weapons
Our love turns to war
[Verse 2]
You throw my secrets
Like bottles at the wall
I hit below the belt
Just to watch you fall
We trade accusations
Like they’re trophies
Like they’re gold
Two scared kids
In bodies grown old
[Chorus]
[Breakdown]
[half-time drums
Guitars chugging hard]
Say it again
Make it hurt
Carve my name
Into the dirt
You scream “I hate you”
I shout it back
Both of us bleeding
Through every attack
[low vocal register]
This is the hill
We’re dying on
Same four walls
Where it went so wrong
[guitars drop out
Drums and voice only]
All this rage
All this score
If I win this fight
What am I fighting for?
[crescendo
Full band slams back in]
When words turn to weapons
Our love turns to—
[Chorus]

rock, Aggressive emo-rock with overdriven guitars and tight, live drums. Shouted male vocals in the verses ride palm-muted riffs; chorus explodes with wide open power chords and gang shouts on key phrases. Breakdown drops into a half-time chug with dissonant bends and screamed layers, then one final full-band punchout., emo
