Lyrics
This gun shoots words that it can't take back
These shining knives take lives they never meant to target or attack
And I always thought I had my back
But as of late I'm not so sure
This arrow pierces more than flesh
Shot from a distance, it cuts swiftly through logic and spills regret
And I always thought I held the bow
But as of late I just don't know
I'm a weapon
I'm a 45-caliber with limited discretion
A loaded frag with a pin missing
I'm a weapon
And I'm pointed at me
This whip cracks quips that burn and sting
Playful remarks leave scars that fascinate your friends and family
And I always struck facetiously
Turns out the joke's on me
I'm a weapon
I'm a one-track landmine you never should have stepped in
A pocketknife hiding up your sleeve
I'm a weapon
But I'm pointed at me
Only meant to hurt somebody else
Never thought I'd bring this all about
Only meant to hurt somebody else
Never thought I'd spin the chamber
Pull this trigger on myself
I'm a weapon
