about

Six Gun was written about a man who put together a show at a local water park in Texas in order to lure in the individuals who killed his son and get his revenge. We played at this show and had to stop our set because this man ended up firing gunshots during our set. "Six Gun" captures what that man went through from the time he found out his son was murdered to the point of him committing homicide and the regret after.(True Story)

lyrics

Stricken with a grim statement
Wrongful victim of blatant homicide
Pneumatic traumatization coupled with sullen stagnation fills my mind
Reality’s fading under pretense of gaining control
Mortality’s waning with the leverage I’m gaining, unconditional
Eye for an eye
I will not die by my irrational judgement
Logic is panic’s prey
Surrender to your aggressor
I’ve set my sights, and with my six gun
It’s retribution time!
Oh god, absolve me from perpetual intoxication
With a hole in your brain, I will obtain my vengeful salvation
And on the list of catalysts I’ll carve into your head
Will be the name of the soul you can’t replace, and now I’m seeing red
Over time, I’ve armed myself in body and mind
I will find resolution once I set the trap and let my body unwind
Instigated, the grief is never-ending
Medicated, the numbing doesn’t help
My charity, I’ve tossed it aside
The stage has been set, and now you’re mine
Supportive citizens caught in the crossfire
Now they turn and run
Mind lost to rage with intent to appease
I forgot that I did this for my son!
An event that’s gone awry
The masses flee from their potential assailant
Logic is panic’s prey
The hearsay spreading like wildfire
Words laced with strife over the six gun
Fearing for their life
The moisture from the barrel will match my tears
I’ll share my pain with a bullet
Breathe in new life through the loss of another
My thirst for blood remains sincere
Oh god, absolve me from perpetual intoxication
With a hole in your brain, I will obtain my vengeful salvation
And on the list of catalysts I’ll carve into your head
Will be the name of the soul you can’t replace, and now I’m seeing red
I’ve drawn my weapon
The damage is done
Your murder can’t bring back my son
Revenge has worsened the pain
I’ve never felt so alone
I’ve taken my son’s name in vain, and my sins await me below
Below
Put down the weapon before the damage is done, ‘lest you be cursed to forever reload the six gun!
I thought I was stronger than this!
