Lyrics

leises Intro, Schüsse in der Ferne, dumpfer Herzschlag)
I held the barrel to my head, not for glory, not for fame...
Just to silence all the noise, to end this fucking game...
(Schuss fällt)

Hook:
Now you miss me, now you cry –
Where were you when I was barely alive?
Now you scream, but it's too late –
I had enough, I sealed my fate.
Now you miss me, now you care –
But I was dying right there in your air.
I screamed in silence, every night –
But you just turned off the light.

Verse 1:
You took my soul and drained it dry,
Every "I love you" felt like a lie,
I gave you cash, I gave you trust,
You gave me silence, left me in dust.
A stranger in my own fucking home,
A child, unloved, forced to roam,
You used my hands, but not my heart,
And now it's tearing me apart.
So I grabbed the steel, felt the chill,
Thought "one shot, and it all goes still."

(Schuss – Instrumentalbridge mit Echo, Herzschlag wird leiser)

Verse 2:
Now you find me lying cold,
Blood on walls, your boy ain't old.
You scream my name, but where were you?
When I was broken, black and blue?
I watched you cry, it meant nothing,
Your tears are lies, just sudden bluffing.
Now I’m gone, and you feel shame?
But I’m the same kid you left in pain.
You ask why I did it – you never knew me,
You loved control, not the real me.
So keep your guilt, your fake regret –
I’m gone for good. I won’t forget.

Hook (reprise):
Now you miss me, now you care –
Now you cry, now you swear.
Too damn late, I’m in the ground –
And all you hear is that last sound.

(letzter Schuss – dann Stille)

Outro:
If silence was a scream, you’d be deaf by now...
But you only listen when blood speaks.
...and now I’m gone.
