Songs In Red and Gray

If I were a weapon
you said I'd be a gun
lethal at close range I guess
with silencer and stun


but I feel more like a needle
always pulling on the thread
always making the same point again 
and wondering if you heard what I just said


if you were a weapon
a hammer's what you'd be
blunt and heavy at the end
and coming down on me


but I've concealed a weapon 
in a pocket knife attack
all folded up inside until you see the shine
and then you'll want it back


oooh
if I were a weapon
you said I'd be a gun
lethal at close range I guess
w silencer and stun


well, if I am that weapon
I am pointing now at you
so just put down the hostage and we'll
talk it down until we see this through
