  • Two nights ago I was shot
    A bullet sunk straight through the skull
    A friend pulled the trigger that silenced me
    No pain as I awoke, but dead
    Seeing the face of the man
    The time as he lays down his gun
    I knew this was going to take place
    White silence, so peaceful, so numb

    No one knows the time they're changing
    No one will see through

    You're all gone to me, (gone to me)
    I've been pulled out to watch from my eternal sleep
    Intuition and a warning to believe (I will believe)
    Something was wrong and though I felt I had to stay
    Moving on seemed to be somber bliss
    Without one goodbye
    I watch my mother shed tears

    No!
    This gun has stopped time in its tracks
    Has altered the course of my fate
    Destiny is shattered and timeless
    Closed eyes feel the cold winds embrace

    I'll watch you call, calling for me,
    You can't bring back time
    Close your eyes and look away,
    Fate exposed, won't let me stay
    Hope will fall tonight with broken wings,
    Descending entity in me

    My voice has been taken from me
    The more I listen, the more I have to say

    You're all gone to me, (gone to me)
    I've been pulled out to watch from my eternal sleep
    Intuition and a warning to believe (I will believe)
    Something was wrong and though I felt I had to stay
    Moving on seemed to be somber bliss
    Without one goodbye
    I watch my mother shed tears
    And taste the blood that she cries,
    And taste the blood that she cries

    I'll watch you call, calling for me,
    You can't bring back time
    Close your eyes and look away,
    Fate exposed, won't let me stay
    Hope will fall tonight with broken wings,
    Descending entity in me
    Oh yeah
    Oh yeah
    Oh yeah Writer/s: BRIAN ELWIN HANER JR., JAMES OWEN SULLIVAN, MATTHEW CHARLES SANDERS, ZACHARY JAMES BAKER

  • Mikeolomey from CaJames it's actually " a bullet sunk straight through the skull". Either way it's an awesome song!
  • Chris from Edmonton, Abold a7x is amazing there new stuff is good but there screamo stuff blew me off my feet
  • Alan from The Meadow Of Rainbows, United KingdomThis song scares the crap out of me. Especially the start. That's the first time I've been scared by a guitar riff. It's still a good song though, A7X rocks!!
  • Janae from Riverside, CaSorry Keaton but it's not "close your eyes or look away/ fate exposed and won't let me say." Change "say" to stay! ;)
  • Tina from Santa Ana, CaYeah for me its more of that maybe a way of saying that the song lyrics have to do with death AND betrayal because of the "Youre all gone to me." But I'm not sure seeing from it being in the point of view on an emo. Lol. Not much can say until we can ask the band. :]
  • James from Houston, TxIn the lyrics it says "A bullet sunk straight through my skull". Either way it's an awesome song!
