A flash of light in the dead of night at the end of a one way street, Sirens scream as shattered dreams dissolve in the dirt at his feet. No answers are found as Mama looks around, kneels in a front row pew Heavy are the prayers she prays today, she's gun metal blue. He's up on time toein' the line a habit he'd love to break It's a living hell he knows too well dreams are his only escape Cold gray bars are the best by far in makin' him face the truth All he made was one mistake, he's gun metal blue. One more heart is torn apart, another soul is laid to rest Someone didn't know someone wasn't told, there's more to life than death We're all at fault for such a loss, even me and you We share the blame and all the pain of gun metal blue Fire Away, but think before you do 'cause there's gonna come a day When you realize the world ain't bullet proof Let's find an answer a cure to the cancer that's eatin' us up alive It ain't what I want or what you don't, it don't matter who's wrong or right Be careful what you say there's freedom at stake, weigh the words you choose It's going on, it's not sticks and stones, it's gun metal blue
