Shotgun Blues Lyrics

Living in darkness, became a burden in daylight
Carrying the souls of the dead and
feeding them with life

Stop wearing me out, I present you the gate
I’m passing you over and leave you with faith

You’re living a second life
that don’t belong to you
Step out of my body
I believe you like it too

You’re now leaving
I couldn’t rule with you
One minute to sing the shotgun blues
How you feeling?
Do you love it too?
One minute to sing the shotgun blues

32 years have gone,
you’re now on the other side
Leaving with good energy,
a blessing in disguise

Reportedly, according to Michael Poulson, this track explores the ghostly events he had recently experienced upon moving into a new home. "Every time you move into a house, you bring dead people with you. Weird stuff happens whenever I move into a [new] house… it’s very otherworldly."
