I Never Had a Gun

VERSE 1
No toxic person has ever left my life
Because of something I said even though I was right
No toxic person was bounced from my house
Because the human body is too heavy to toss out
No toxic person was remanded to prison

You need a reason? Let me just clear the air

CHORUS 1
Because I never had a gun

Garrison Kelly liked Marie's review of Glass Chains: Warding Gait Book I (The Vast Collective Series): "Wow, this one blew me away. Seeing more of Sagan's POV was refreshing and interesting. And little Pax was so adorable. Silence is a fave character but I adore Matt. Can't wait for the next after that cliffhanger ending. How dare!"
