Flower in a Gun Lyrics

I'm a simple guy

Working on myself

Putting pieces back together, everything is off the shelf

Wake up with the sun

Hit the ground and run

Barefoot on the blacktop like a flower in a gun

Typical mistakes

Looking for a break

I wanna take the easy way by riding in the wake

I gotta find my style

Stay there for a while

I won't settle for a copy but I'll settle for a smile

Memory is fine

I use it all the time

Pieces of a story come together in my mind

I make a glove that fits

I win and never quit

I end up with a better deal when I commit to it

Rhythm and the flow

Cycle in the road

Dancing with the energy I get when I don't know

Feel the in-between

Spaces as I breathe

The world that I consider is the world that I perceive

I'm a devotee

You can count on me

My life is dedicated to the blue jay in the tree

Never early, never late

Death is on my plate

Living in the present at a graduated rate

Working like a dog

Candle in the fog

Thoughts are getting heavy like a sycamore log

Pouring out the words

Drinking in the sound

Ready like a runner as the beat comes back around

Imagination rules

Empathy is cool

Everyone is swimming in an animistic pool

Listen to your voice

Use it like a toy

Play the kind of role that you create and then destroy

Seminary halls

Monastery walls

Letting go of everything is one way not to fall

Crying with a friend

Laughing in the end

Rise above the pain and separate and let it mend
