Weapons - Emily Kinney

I’m only human, I need a god

To show me what we want when we fought

From morning to dusk

Our tears causing rust on all of our weapons

And he’s just a man but deep in his eyes

I see all this love without the lies

From now till forever

We’d be so much better without the weapons

Empty my gun, dull my knife

Build a house, make a life

We lie in bed and let the record play

I hope that he and I will always be this way

Oh, I’m only human but I’ve found a match

He doesn’t hurt, he doesn’t scratch

I’m just some girl but I’ve found a soul

He doesn’t push, he doesn’t pull

He’s just a man but he’s like a savior

That I don’t deserve after my bad behavior

He says he’s wasted with no money left

But all that I see is perfect

Empty my gun, dull my knife

Build a house, make a life

We lie in bed and let the record play

I hope that he and I will always be this way

I am done with the jealousy

Done with the fighting

Done with words that feel just like biting

I have found a new man with a heart he wants to share

It just goes to show life isn’t always unfair

I have pumped new blood into this heart for him to take

We’re gonna move to California to a house on a lake

And some day we will kiss in front of family and friends

Only cake and champagne and no need

For weapons

Empty my gun, dull my knife

Build a house, make a life

We lie in bed and let the record play

I hope that he and I will always be this way

All these clear-headed thoughts were once home to doubt

Think I finally know what life is about

And it seems smooth sailing where the waters were rough

How the world looks different when you find yourself

In love, in love

In love, in love

In love
