about

Take a Bullet is the anthem of dysphoria. We're not here to steal Fall Out Boy's shtick of not quite fitting in. This is the feeling of finding your own place in this world even if it is underneath a blanket, even if people shout at you - especially if people shout at you. We are all people who wanted to be something, it doesn't matter who you want to be, as long as you can keep trying to make it who you are.

Keep at it folks. Bitchin' Hour is alongside you.

lyrics

The water, the water
It makes the river think
It's raging, it's raging
Step right up and dive

The river, the river
It makes the ocean think
It's bleeding, it's bleeding
Watch the waves collide

I know, I know, I know
I won't be the one if I'm not one
I know, I know, I know
A daydream is a loaded gun

Girl don't have to rise with the grey sunrise
Gotta lock those blankets down 'til the afterlife
Wanna be the stunner with the long black hair
The one they say they'll take anywhere

If I take a bullet now
It will pass right through me
If I take a bullet now
There’ll be no scars to see

The embers, the embers
They make the ashes think
They're burning, they're burning
Lose yourself in smoke
The flickers, the flickers
They make the cauldron think
It's boiling, it's boiling
Pour it out and choke

I know, I know, I know
I won't be the one if I'm not one
I know, I know, I know
A daydream is a loaded gun

Girl don't have to rise with the grey sunrise
Gotta lock those blankets down 'til the afterlife
Wanna be the stunner with the long black hair
The one they say they'll take anywhere

If I take a bullet now
It will pass right through me
If I take a bullet now
There’ll be no scars to see

If I take a bullet now
It will pass right through me
If I take a bullet now
There’ll be no scars to see
