Hollywood Roulette


Faded sun and rainbow lies
Halos turn to haunted eyes
Shadow days inside me rise 
Bullet in the gun

Empty soulless state of grace
All alone is everyplace
Silence raging into space
Bullet in the gun

Monster bound but bearing bite
Blinding stare devoid of light
Numb to fear of wrong or right
Bullet in the gun

Reach for me and hold me brother
Rip me from the darkness mother
Is there one who'd help another
Bullet in the gun

No one knows quite what I've seen
Haven't found a place to lean
 Mirrors face has lost it's sheen
Bullet in the gun

Hope no more my little man
Races ran without a plan
Leapt to fire from the pan
Bullet in the gun

Less One?
