The Thom The Thim - Bang Bang (I Shot Me Down)

Admittedly
Thing didn't start off love at first sight

Lightening
To say the least
Didn't really strike

When I first laid eyes on you
A scared little boy in the mirror
Torn and conflicted
Gazed back
In melancholic blue

That selfie-ass smile
Adorned across the face
Not really fooling anyone
Except for his own escapade

Escaped and enraged
Retreat and retract
Avoiding eye contacts
So no one sees the Hyde and Jackal act

Bang bang
The sound of acting out
Bang bang
The beat of a racing pulse
Bang bang
The combustion in the brain
Bang bang
Trigger happy from the pain

As the convention goes
Bad guys never win
But really though
Probably only in Disney films

Pulling a 360s
Doing the breaking bads
Gun tooting at drive bys
To all perceived threats

Fifty shades of anger
Ready in record pace
Speeding through from escalate
To the depression phase

Doomed from the get go
Born with a bruised ego
Sights, sounds, senses
Unlocking that fighting hormonal

Bang bang
The sound of acting out
Bang bang
The beat of a racing pulse
Bang bang
The combustion in the brain
Bang bang
Trigger happy from the pain

When one finger points
Three fingers point back
But who the fuck cares
Cut them off instead

Thunderbolts and lightning
Background soundtrack of each morning
The silhouetto of the shadow
Scaramouching his deep feelings

Life is like a box of chocolate
Always the same things you were gonna choose
Dark, Bitter and Nuts
Stuff the mouth up until it' s full

Struggle to distinct
Alone and loneliness
Fist clenched
Jaws locked
Contemplating one's own worthiness

Bang bang
The sound of acting out
Bang bang
The beat of a racing pulse
Bang bang
The combustion in the brain
Bang bang
Trigger happy from the pain

Realising the only way out
Is to practise self respect
Giving the heart a break
Back up before hitting the cul de sacs

Age old cliche
If you can't even love yourself"
Like hell there's no way
You can count on someone else

Nobody fucks with me
Has always been the go-to phrase
But maybe it's time to retire that
Albatross neckbrace

Bang bang
The sound of acting out
Bang bang
The beat of a racing pulse
Bang bang
The combustion in the brain
Bang bang
Trigger happy from the pain

Bang bang
I shot me down
