Shoot Your Shot

Heart’s a matchstick, struck in the dark,

Eyes on her silhouette, a museum of scars.

She moves in shadows, moonlit ballet,

Tongue-tied, I’m a poet with nothing to say.

Spit venom to the mirror, my own enemy,

But tonight, gotta gamble, destiny’s entropy.

Shoot your shot, shot, shot, don’t let it rot,

Clock ticking, one chance, that’s all you got.

Shoot your shot, shot, shot, hit or not,

Lose the fear, burn the tears, give it all you brought.

Her eyeliner’s rivers, running deep and wide,

Her smile’s a fortress, pain locked inside.

Chain-smoked dreams in a parking lot haze,

Lost kids praying for their better days.

I’m no savior, just a boy with a plea,

But her eyes, man, they’re rewriting me.

Choke on the words, yeah, my throat’s a knot,

But regret’s a dagger, you know it cuts hot.

Rather fall flat, shattered on the floor,

Than spend my nights pacing, wishing for more.

Shoot your shot, shot, shot, don’t let it rot,

Clock ticking, one chance, that’s all you got.

Shoot your shot, shot, shot, hit or not,

Lose the fear, burn the tears, give it all you brought.

Ashes in my chest, flames in my veins,

Win or lose, it’s better than chains.

Shoot your shot, don’t waste the night,

Her emo eyes might just set you right.
