Paranoid's Lullaby

By Iwas

Tin can noise traps set just right.
Peace of mind within sight.
Take the grip and hold it tight.
Hunker down for another long night.

Lay next to the bed on the floor.
Watch for shadows under the door.
Train the sights to hit the core.
Listen in silence and nothing more.

Check the windows for the sun.
When it's up your almost done.
Peel your hand from the gun.
I'm sure you're tired from all the fun.
