Текст пісні
Polished steel lies cold on the floor
Fingerprints smudged like we don't wanna know more
Serial number filed down till it's gone
Who held it tight? Who pulled on that song?
It's next to a glass with lipstick red
A note half-burned where some words were left dead
Walls are painted over in white
But every crack's hiding a fight
They say "it's just a tool, don't you see?"
But it's staring right back at me!
There's a gun in the crime scene - silent as stone
It didn't pull the trigger, but it knows what went wrong
It didn't choose the hate or the lies in our eyes
But it's the one that's caught in all the lies!
A gun in the crime scene - heavy and clean
Guilt ain't in the metal, it's in what we mean
When we point at the steel and look away from the truth
Yeah, we know what we did - and it's staring at you!
"Whoa-oh! Whoa-oh-oh!"
Detective's hands shake as he puts it away
Says his own kid used to play with one just this way
Victim's son sits quiet in the hall
Carved the same mark on a wall last fall
Dealer swears he sold it to a face in the dark
But "face in the dark" is just how we fall apart
No name, no trace - just a shadow we chase
While the gun sits still in its case
They say "it's just a thing, let it be!"
But it's screaming right back at me!
There's a gun in the crime scene - silent as stone
It didn't pull the trigger, but it knows what went wrong
It didn't choose the hate or the lies in our eyes
But it's the one that's caught in all the lies!
A gun in the crime scene - heavy and clean
Guilt ain't in the metal, it's in what we mean
When we point at the steel and look away from the truth
Yeah, we know what we did - and it's staring at you!
"Whoa-oh! Whoa-oh-oh!"
Who loaded the rounds? Who pulled back the pin?
Who let it all spin out and give in?
It don't care if it's right or it's wrong
It just does what we tell it all along!
