How It's Going To Be

(album: Dogs - 2011)

I can't help picking up these bones
I'm just a sucker for the pain
When I see them lying there alone
I just can"t leave them in the rain

We need a different way to speak
So I might never use my tongue
I know the comforts that you seek
And I see what you'll become
I'm going to cut you like a tree
So be ready for it

If this is how it's going to be, then I will never be someone,
But it doesn't matter to me
If this is how it's going to be, then I will never be someone,
But it doesn't matter, no, it doesn't matter to me

I'm going to shoot you if you run
They'll find you in a shallow grave
And when the day and deed is done
The attention that you crave
Will not seem so very fun
So prepare for it

[Chorus]

I'm going to shoot you if you run
And I'm going to cut you like a tree
And I'll be your savior with a gun
If this is how it's going to be
