LEFT OF THE DIAL LYRICS

"21 Shots"

Performed as Clockwork

All alone when I'm at home
More alone around my friends
My face wedged in a corner and my back against a wall
The only ones that I know
That can keep my head from spilling
Are these 3 spiral notebooks that I'm almost done filling

Not a line can calm me down
I'm packing up to leave this frown
My bottom's up, I've cracked my crown
I like to think she's just a granted wish away
A wish I've wished 1000 ways

Salute me now with 21 shots
Stomach's tied in forget-me-(k)nots
Feeling's a feeling that I've replaced
And fear is a fear that I've never faced
Invincible in my barricade skin
Barricades also trap you in
Restrained to my bed, ropes have slit my wrists
With fingers making fists, I scream aloud

One year later my regrets
Coincide with all of my bets
I'm not much of a gambler just a rambler rambling off
Wishing for resolutions like
Wishing for stars on cloudy nights
I watch as shooting stars are shooting all of my wishes down

People changing for the worst
Like turning feelings into verse
All the strong ones, they change first
An echoing mistake that never fades away
Mistakes don't ever change their ways

Salute me now with 21 shots
Stomach's tied in forget-me-(k)nots
Feeling's a feeling that I've replaced
And fear is a fear that i've never faced
Invincible in my barricade skin
Barricades also trap you in
Restrained to my bed, ropes have slit my wrists
With fingers making fists, I scream aloud

Suffocating on my pride
I chose my feet over my heart
Collapsing at the finish line
Choking since the start

Can't stop holding on
Cant stop leaning on the edge

And I'll wait right here in case you come around
