THE HEADSHOTS LYRICS

"The Antagonist"

It’s like I’m walking through the asylum doors
I can’t control my thoughts no more
Get me outta this maze, my fingers ache
It makes you wonder, was it worth it?
These prying eyes that keep following me
Will soon go blind of misery
All means to an end, old wounds that burn
As the prodigal son returns

We’ve got something to forget
But somehow we just can’t
So don’t be fooled
Scar tissue can open again
We bury the times we had
In the ashes on which we stand
So an eye for an eye, a last memory
Make up your mind, what do you wanna hear

Now you know, now you know your antagonist
Now you know that I shoot and I never miss
Now you know, now you know your antagonist
Now you know we can’t go on like this
Now you know, now you know, now you know
The Antagonist

The radio’s playing some kind of serenade
The deadline’s off, time’s ticking away
It’s under my skin, I question everything
Don’t waste your time believing
These banners of hope you’ve been hanging on
Will soon be strangling you down
You still ask me the reasons why
It’s just the redemption of my mind

We try to understand
But somehow we just can’t
So don’t act surprised
If I reject your reaching hand
We’re stuck with this disease
All we’ve got are wrong medicines
So fill your lungs and hold your breath
Lose all sense of control in this panic attack

Heartbeat and then none
All shades of red by a heart-shaped gun
Open your eyes and say goodbye
For the redemption of my mind
