lyrics

You’re sitting around just waiting
for something to go wrong
You carry with you so much hatred,
were you like this all along
or did someone you care for betray you,
did they leave you hanging on
you’ve mistaken your sadness for anger,
and I’m just another one of your pawns

Shoot first, shoot first
and let someone else clean up after
Shoot first, shoot first
I won’t be around for the next disaster
Doesn’t it get so exhausting,
being flawless and alone
When you’re the last man standing,
will you be happy and let it go
I’d rather have my pockets empty,
than to stoop down so low
and now that I’m gone you can’t touch me,
and it kills you, I know

Shoot first, shoot first
and let someone else clean up after
Shoot first, shoot first
I won’t be around for the next disaster

It all comes down to the bottom line
I should’ve known better should’ve read the signs
I broke my back and I lost my mind
Turning water into wine

Shoot first, shoot first
and let someone else clean up after
Shoot first, shoot first
I won’t be around for the next disaster

Find a quiet spot, sit down, put on the headphones, and don't do anything else but listen to this album. Symptoms will include shivers, a rush of intense emotions, and the desire to see Kathryn Joseph live. No, YOU'RE weeping into your coffee, transfixed by this beautiful, heartrending music.
