lyrics

A SHOT TO THE HEART
(lyrics : Vanessa Jacquemin)
(Music : Alex Jacquemin)

SOMEBODY TELL ME WHY
THE TWISTED MATH CALCULATES THE PAST
THOUGH THE CHECK’S BEEN CASHED IN BLOOD

SOMEBODY TELL ME WHY
THEY KEEP THEM BACK AT THE END OF CLASS
TO BE TAUGHT THEY’RE INVISIBLE

THIS IS THE FREEDOM OF THE LOOKING GLASS I HOLD
I SEE THE FUTURE
IT WON’T BE A SHAME FOR MY HEART
NO RIGHT TO CLAIM YOUR FLESH IS SWEETER THAN MY SOUL
A THOUGHT SO EVIL IS A SHOT TO THE HEART

SOMEBODY TELL ME WHY
THEY WAIT IN LINE WASTING PRECIOUS TIME
THOUGH THE PRIZE HAS BEEN BOUGHT AND SOLD

SOMEBODY TELL ME HOW
TO CATCH MY BREATH RUNNIN’ ENDLESS LAPS
‘ROUND THE GHETTO OF ONE-WAY DOORS

THIS IS THE FREEDOM OF THE LOOKING GLASS I HOLD
I SEE THE FUTURE
IT WON’T BE A SHAME FOR MY HEART

NO RIGHT TO CLAIM YOUR FLESH IS SWEETER THAN MY SOUL
A THOUGHT SO EVIL IS A SHOT TO THE HEART

THERE IS NOT MUCH MORE TO SAY
CAN’T WAIT TOMORROW
IT IS NOT YOUR CHOICE TO MAKE
PREPARE TO PLAY A PART
YOU CAN’T CLOSE YOUR EYES TODAY
AND PRETEND THERE IS NO SORROW
THE TEARS WILL FALL RIGHT DOWN YOUR FACE
IF YOU DON’T PLAY A PART

THIS IS THE FREEDOM OF THE LOOKING GLASS I HOLD
I SEE THE FUTURE
IT WON’T BE A SHAME FOR MY HEART
NO RIGHT TO CLAIM YOUR FLESH IS SWEETER THAN MY SOUL
A THOUGHT SO EVIL IS A SHOT TO THE HEART
