Birdeatsbaby – The Bullet lyrics
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Tired of the bullet, you laid out your life
In selections of photographs hung up to dry
Shoot through the middle and gather your points
By protecting yourself from another bad choice

[Verse 2]
No one will care if you put out that light
You built an army but they would not fight
So then speechless and void, you're just a memory
Stuck in the mirror with no exit strategy

[Verse 3]
You should move on, make a life of your own
Get happily married and live in a home
But you can't sit still and you're certain it's true
There's just too many them and just not enough you

[Bridge1]
You're a rat in a cage, you're a bull in a China shop
Took center stage for the world just to spit you up
I say let's shoot back

[Chorus]
Heaven above us and hell just behind
Nobody knows it, I'm just one of a million kinds
So sing if you're sorry for all that you see
Sing if you're just the same as me

[Instrumental Violin hook]

[Bridge 2]
Looking back now there's no way I would do
Anything different or anything new
You and me both we're the bullet within
We're just playing a game that nobody can win
So I'll burn all my promises, never agree
To become what I hate and then hate what I see
I'm as empty as all of the air that I breathe
And I'm hollowed and fraught but at least I still bleed

[Chorus 2]
Help me remember that once you were here
Living without you, it's just one of a million fears
So I'll keep on singing this lullaby
Darling how deep does the bullet lie

[Instrumental, rhytm and Back Vocals]

[Outro]
How deep does the bullet lie
How deep does the bullet lie
How deep does the bullet lie
How deep does the bullet lie

    Birdeatsbaby & their 3rd studio album ‘The Bullet Within’. They started a Kickstarter project at the end of 2013 in order to finish this new CD. The project was successfully funded after the band raised £11,000, meaning that the album launch will take place on the 11th of July of next year . The band members have various influences: Muse, Chopin, and Patti Smith are just a few of them...And that is one of the reasons why their sound cannot be pinned down to one specific genre. They are clearly alternative; not many bands can say that they have a truly so unique sound, but you could also class their songs as orchestral rock, modern and in this moment trendy indie music, lil` smell of old burlesque, some pieces of steampunk rays or new dark cabaret.
    “Sing if you’re just the same as me,” is one of the lines from the song The Bullet. The band addresses relatable topics and therefore tries to make a connection with the listener. This is exactly what Birdeatsbaby have done on their new album ‘The Bullet Within’ – making the listener feel deep emotions through their profound lyrics and haunting melodies. Everyone feels out of place sometimes and The Bullet reminds us of that feeling of emptiness and no sense of purpose. You can sing along – and relate to the band – if you also feel like “a rat in a cage” or “a bull in a china shop”....

    "Tired of the bullet you laid out your life
    In selections of photographs hung out to dry
    Shoot through the middle and gather your points
    By protecting yourself from another bad choice"

    At the same time, it is also a song about missing someone you love/d. “How deep does the bullet lie?” sings the lead singer at the end of the song. Everyone has scars from the past and in the next song Drinking In The Day the band reflects upon this as well. “I’ll be drowning all my sorrows,” sings Mishkin Fitzgerald in this ballad full of self-criticism. Someone can try to have a purpose in life, but she sings that she is currently only “drinking in the day”. The mix of vocals, violins, piano melodies, and drums result in a unique and remarkable sound.

    Album for remembering, be sure if you are educated for noble and for modesty & alternative taste of Rock. ;)
    By the way Lead vocalist and songwriter awesome Mishkin Fitzgerald, violin player Tessa Gilles, bass player and guitarist Garry Mitchell and drummer Katha Rothe know how to tell a story and share their emotions through their music. Puzzles are here all in whole! Fitzgerald’s voice is impressive; she seems to hit all the high notes with ease. Not all the lyrics are clear, but some of them rather remain a bit mysterious, which creates room for different interpretations. The band formed in 2008, and have toured the uk, Europe, America and Mexico and secured a dedicated fanbase with the name ‘flock’. Birdeatsbaby calls ‘The Bullet Within’ justly their best work yet. It is an album with well-shaped stories and melodies that deserves to be heard by a bigger audience. So enjoy yourself and shine always! :).
