One Shell (in the Chamber) LyricsOne shell in the chamber
Get it ready and cocked (Get all ready for this!)
One pull on the trigger (Ha!)
Can I do it or not? (Can I do it or not)
Galvanize with so much sorrow (Sorrow)
Desolation's my only friend (My only friend)
Feel the pulse of my heart
Feel the grip of my hand
One pull of the trigger
The insanity ends
Melancholia kills me slowly (Slowly)
Paralyzed, I'm petrified
See my face
I don't even know me (Who then?)
My life is flashing by (The end is near)
Dying’s an easy thing
Trying to crash and burn
It’s living that defeats the weak
I’ll finally get my turn
Not gonna stake my life!
Not gonna stake my life!
I got better things to lose
Not gonna stake my life, no!
Not gonna stake my life!
Not gonna stake my life!
I got better things to lose
Not gonna stake my life, no!
Not gonna stake my life! (Pounding, Surrounding)
Not gonna stake my life! (Drowning, Confounding)
I got better things to lose, (Pounding, Surrounding)
Not gonna stake my life, no! (Drowning, Confounding)
Not gonna stake my life! (Pounding, Surrounding)
Not gonna stake my life! (Drowning, Confounding)
I got better things to lose, (Pounding, Surrounding)
Not gonna stake my life, no! (Drowning, Confounding)
[Solo]
Not gonna stake my life! (No I‘m not!)
Not gonna stake my life! (Mh-mh)
I got better things to lose
Not gonna stake my life, no! (Not gonna take my life!)
Not gonna stake my life! (I ain’t doing it)
Not gonna stake my life! (Mh-mh)
I got better things to lose
Not gonna take my life
One pull off the trigger!
Can I do it or not?
No, not not not gonna take my life!
No one‘s in the room
I feel pounding
I feel surrounding
Drowning, confounding
Pounding, surrounding
Not go—
Not go—
Not gonna take my life
