safety in numbers

i burnt out at 19 and
you'll never know my genius
if i could've been who knows
what i would've been but
i was on to you

i'm real bored
of your billboards
and so i'm running away

you're
shooting at fish in a barrel
the barrel of your gun
it does wonders
safety in numbers
it's killing me

well i bottomed out at 21 and
you'll never know my lover
what we could've been if
she'd only seen but
i was on to her

i'm real bored
of your billboards
and so i'm running away

you're
shooting at fish in a barrel
the barrel of your gun
it does wonders
safety in numbers
it's killing me

Very interesting poem. I especially like how you use the barrel of the gun in that saying "shooting fish in a barrel."

A bit Matt Good-esque I would say.

kinda reminds me of guster... for some reason, i think its the part where it says "barrel of a gun"
