Tell me off in a letter

 Completely ignore me

Getting high off of saying

 Why you don't adore me?

Baby please I'm well versed

In how I might be cursed

I don't need it articula---ted

Verse 2

Stand in line wasting

All of your time just to hate me

Every dime gone to ways

 You can find that might bait me

 And drag me down sight set proudly

Bring me to the ground see

 You love to be somebody's enemy

Maybe nobody loved you

 when you were young

Maybe boy when you

cry nobody ever comes

Will you try it once?

 Give up the machine gun

Verse 2

Locked and loaded

 You're practically

 floating away now

In your fortress you feel like

 You're more or less safe now

 But let me say I don't mean harm

Oh but ba--by you'd be charming

 if you'd come undone

 Get back where you started from

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Bridge

Never mind how you've rationed your time

Don't just hide in the silence behind

What you've really been trying to say

Verse 3

What a skill baby aiming to kill me

 With words you don't mean

Chorus 2

Maybe nobody loved you

 when you were young

Maybe boy when you

cry nobody ever comes

Will you try it once?

 Give up the machine gun

Will you try it once?

 Give up the machine gun

Will you try it once?

 Give up the machine gun

 Machine gun
