  • Honey, load up your questions
    And pick up your sticks and your stones
    And pretend I'm a shelter
    For heartaches that don't have a home
    Choose the words that cut like a razor
    And all that I'll say

    Is fire away
    Take your best shot
    Show me what you got
    Honey, I'm not afraid
    Rear back and take aim
    And fire away

    Well, I wish I could say
    That I've never been here before
    But you know and I know
    That I'll always come back for more
    Your love might be my damnation
    But I'll cry to my grave

    Fire away
    Take your best shot
    Show me what you got
    Honey, I'm not afraid
    Rear back and take aim
    And fire away

    Oh, fire away
    Take your best shot
    Show me what you got
    Honey, I'm not afraid
    Rear back and take aim
    And fire away
    Fire away
    Oh, fire away

  • Hollie from MdI suffer from mental illness since childhood.
    It's a shame that doctors look at you for 5 damn mins and say some of the most awful things as to. What and how they want to treat it.
    The problem is they the dr.s thru you on all kinds of meds . You start them on the for a year or more and then it's we've got a new medication out let's try you on that now or the insurance company doesn't want to pay for it anymore and it's very expensive and that's why people commit suicide it's very hard to live with mental illness it's very very hard I can't even stress how hard it is. Hopefully people will help the ones that find the right med and keep them on it instead of after 43 yrs on that med and 4 attempts of trying to get out of my own skin. Then it's kinda to late for the help people want o give. The damage is done
    Thanks for the song . Was like living in my life as we speak
    Still fighting it
