Lyrics by B. Haag

My actions stem desperation
lost my job now the kids need food
what hope I had is all but diminished
my options now are but few
I cant believe what I'm about to do

The metal's cold
the ammo's live
she's the only one I see inside
(inside)

Approach discreetly just like on TV
black mask to conceal my ID
kick in the door, gun drawn yelling
"put your hands where I can see! "

Conscious screaming loud
can't turn it down
( the things we do for money)

she reacted like everyone in history
who had ever found they're staring
down the barrel of a gun
Don't let your heart stop oh oh oh
Don't let your heart stop

no not for me
if i let you make the phone call
will you let me flee the scene

Conscious screaming loud
can't turn it down

she reacted like everyone in history
who had ever found they're staring
down the barrel of a gun
Don't let your heart stop oh oh oh

the safe it wouldn't open
so she began to cry
the feeling was reciprocal and then so did I
ten dollars and cigarettes was all she could provide
I let it settle I'm not a good bad guy

Conscious screaming loud
can't turn it down
she reacted like everyone in history
who had ever found they're staring
down the barrel of a gun
Don't let your heart stop oh oh oh
Don't let your heart stop ohhhhhhhhhhhh

When she told me
she was dying I said it's just fear so please stop crying
I said it's just fear
I said it's just fear
I Said it's just

But she didn't hear me
say I'm sorry
over the sound of sirens
the sound of sirens
the sound of sirens
the sound of sirens
