    Please comment...true story by the way.

    My grandfather killed himself...he was an alcoholic...I never met him...but it scares me to know, I'm just like him...just that I don't drink quite as much


    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    My bottle's the gun and you're the trigger:

    Hide this underneath the covers,
    where we cry ourselves to sleep
    And hope no-one will ever notice,
    our hearts almost skipped a beat

    And we got the guns loaded,
    the gun's loaded,
    take this all away
    Yeah we got the guns loaded,
    the gun's loaded,
    drank myself away

    Ill, mind cleared but still not sober
    Stay close, the worst is far from over

    Choose now, in or out of line
    One day will be our day to die

    And we got the guns loaded,
    the gun's loaded,
    take this all away
    Yeah we got the guns loaded,
    the gun's loaded,
    drank myself away

    Yeah, the gun's loaded, gun's loaded,
    drank myself away
    See, the gun's loaded, gun's loaded,
    drank my mind away
    Taste, the gun's loaded, gun's loaded,
    left my life to pay


    EDIT: Please tell me, in the first verse. i used the word 'missed'...I'm kind of wondering if 'skipped' would be better?

    I liked skipped better. Or "Passed a rythmatic beat" it's a very nice poem. Alcholism runs in my family. My grandma and granpa drowned theirselfs in it. I never knew my granpa but I know that alcohol is a part of the reason he died.

    I think 'missed' was better.Had more meaning. What I mean is missed -figurative: person you lost & literal : heartbeat. Skipped - fig. : didnt care much for them.....well thats the way I interpreted it. :)
