When the bullet hits the bone

‘When the bullet hits the bone’

Somewhere in a lonely hotel room
there’s a guy starting to realize
that eternal fate has turned its back on him.
It’s 2 AM.

It’s 2 AM, my fear is gone.
I’m sitting here waiting.
The gun’s still warm.
Maybe my connection’s tired of taking chances…

Yeah, there’s a storm on the loose.
Sirens in my head.
Wrapped up in silence,
all circuits are dead.
Cannot decode.
My whole life spins into a frenzy.

Help I’m stepping into the twilight zone.
The place is a mad house.
Feels like being cloned.
My beacon’s been moved under moon and star.
Where am I to go now that I’ve gone too far?
Yeah, you are gonna know
when the bullet hits the bone.

 
I’m falling down the spiral.
Destination unknown.
Double-crossed messenger, all alone.
Can’t get no connection.
Can’t get through, where are you?

 
Well, the night weighs heavy on his guilty mind.
This far from the border line.
When the hitman comes,
he knows damn well he has been cheated.
And he says…
