Bullseye

from What of Doom? by Pyrophoria

lyrics

Bullseye bullseye bullseye
Full-size
Good time
I was a fool I
Said goodbye
My oh my
Why oh why
They pulled those knives
Out of my back, sneak attack
But no surprise
I am unwise
If I had eyes in the
Back I’d see butterflies
Like blades
Ace of spades
Decades
Almost three
Got this far to be
Trapped in a jar
Butterfly don’t go free
Wings pinned
They grinned
Count from ten
The crowd cheered again
Where have I been
How did I let them
In
My home to roam
And call it their own
Ransack
The stack
Of stories painted black
The ghosts
Memories touched the most
I am like a black cat
In a tree at that
Tit for tat
Voodou sorceress tsked at
I am cursed in the worst
Way
I cannot stay
In my own life after today
I lost it all hate to say
Now they’ll play
Ready aim
I was the fire
No gun for hire
Brought a knife
And that’s my life
No Sylvia Plath strife
No ringer
Missing trigger finger
Come out and swinger
The sky was bloody knuckle red
The day I said
That’s my fucking head

Bullseye bullseye bullseye
Can’t deny
The Apple in my eye
Was on top of my head
Ladies and gents they said
I’m on a knife’s edge
They pushed me off the ledge
Before you can say knife
They ruin my life
I said why
I sigh and cry and deny
I die
No try
Anymore
I lost the war
They don’t throw stones
That break bones
I am already worn down
The thief came to town
Said turn that frown
Further down
Solid ground
Call the hound
They found
Me outbound
Twist twist twist
Dehisce
One shot can’t miss
To the heart the size of a fist
My last word was resist

Pull the knife out of me
Pull the knife out of my life
