Clint Conley - That's When I Reach for My Revolver lyrics

[Verse 1] Once I had my heroes And once I had my dreams But all of that is changed now They've turned things inside out The truth is not that comfortable, no! [Verse 2] And Mother taught us patience The virtues of restraint And Father taught us boundaries Beyond which we must go To find the secrets promised us, yeah [Hook] That's when I reach for my revolver That's when it all gets blown away That's when I reach for my revolver The spirit fights to find its way [Verse 3] A friend of mine once told me His one and only aim To build a giant castle And live inside his name Cry and whispers sing in muted pain Yeah [Hook] That's when I reach for my revolver That's when it all gets blown away That's when I reach for my revolver The spirit fights to find its way [Verse 4] Tonight the sky is empty But that is nothing new Its dead eyes look upon us And they tell me We're nothing But slaves That's when I reach for my revolver Just slaves That's when I reach for my revolver That's when I reach for my revolver That's when I reach for my revolver That's when I reach for my revolver That's when I reach for my revolver
