Morte et Dabo

So he came forth and said onto me
Son, you are forsaken
Condemned for the sins that you live
I offer you forgiveness [x2]

Bow down before me
I will never bow to he who claims to be divine
I"ll tear down your gates with my bare fucking hands
And burn the world that you rule over
No matter how convinced you are, you"re not a god of mine
You"re not a fucking god of mine

I never believed in you
From what I see it was justified
I never believed in you,
In you

This power over the masses is a gift you don"t deserve
When your blood spills, we"ll drink from your fucking skull
You can run, you can hide

Bitch
I"ll fucking find you
I"ll tear your eyes out of your self-righteous face
Lord
I"ll fucking find you
I"ll tear your tongue out of your rancid fucking mouth

Heaven will, burn to the fucking ground
Your world will crumble, and fall from the skies
Blood will spill, and rain upon the earth
Your reign is over, and I"ll wear your crown

This is your demise
I know you feel it in your chest
This is your demise
It"s getting closer
This is your demise
I"m creeping from the depths of hell
This is your demise
I know where you sleep

I never believed in you
From what I can see it was justified
I never believed in you,
In you

What a way to end the world
With false hope in a false god
What a way to end the world
With false hope in you.



Breathless

Get the fuck away from me

I know that I have done wrong and continue to do so but without remorse
I know that I am on a fast track to the grave and I"m headed there alone
I struggle to find myself this time
Save yourself for a man with a conscience
I fight to find myself this time
Save yourself for a man that isn"t me

I spend my days looking through pages
Trying to find a way to get away from me
With love to give that leaves you breathless
Now all I need to find a way back inside my mind

I don"t want to leave you breathless
When will you realize
I don"t want to leave you breathless
When will you realize
I don"t want to leave you breathless
When will you save yourself

Yeah!

I spend my days looking through pages
Trying to find a way to get away from me
With love to give that leaves you breathless
Now all I need to find... a way back inside my mind

I need to find
A way back inside my mind [x2]

This is not the end
This is the end of [x3]
This is not the end

Every mistake I"ve made leaves a scar that burns every day
Yet still I carry on
Without regret
Without remorse
I"m gone
You"re better off to walk away
I am corruption, I am sin

Forget my name
Forget my face
Forget my name
Forget my face



Someone, Somewhere

(Even though I"m on my own)
(I know I"m not alone)
(Cause I know there"s someone, somewhere)
(Waiting when I make it home)
(So here"s one from the heart)
(A life line from the start)
(Home sweet home)

It was you
If only I could do this
You put the music in my heart
Now I"m singing with a band in Memphis
It"s hard just, to be strong
Not knowing if, I"ve done you wrong
I want to imagine
A smile when you hear my songs

Even though I"m on my own
I know I"m not alone
Cause I know there"s someone, somewhere
Praying that I make it home
So here"s one from the heart
A life line from the start
Home sweet home
On my own

A letter home
And I don"t really speak much
We both know I"m not keen too
But I think there"s things I"ve left unsaid
I"m okay, don"t worry
I wish I"d been a better kid
I"m trying, to slow down
I"m sorry for letting you down

Even though I"m on my own
I know I"m not alone
Cause I know there"s someone, somewhere
Praying that I make it home
So here"s one from the heart
A life line from the start
Home sweet home
On my own

Yeah!

You know it"s just, Rock and roll
I know you by my side, through it all
My time running out
And I"ll take over the world

Even though I"m on my own
I know I"m not alone
Cause I know there"s someone, somewhere
Praying that I make it home
So here"s one from the heart
A life line from the start
Home sweet home
On my own

Even though I"m on my own
I know I"m not alone
Cause I know there"s someone, somewhere
Praying that I make it home
So here"s one from the heart
A life line from the start
Home sweet home
On my own



Closure

We"re back again, you know we"re not fucking around
Got a bottle of jack in our hands, you tryna" keep up kid?
Let"s see who hits the ground
We"ve drank the drinks, we"ve done the drugs, clearly we don"t remember
We"ve come so far, we"ve shown them all, without us you"d fall and fade away

They say it all breaks down to keeping your feet on the ground
My sole intention is keeping my head in the clouds
They say that I can"t last a day in the real world
I say you wouldn"t survive one night in mine

Notorious and shit I wouldn"t change it for the world
I"m infamous but damn you can"t help but love this shit

I"m everything we need make this scene what it should have been
Remember platinum albums, sold out stadiums, leave it to me
Let"s tell the truth, not to be rude but we"re all irrelevant
This music"s dead with a bullet in it"s head
Let"s wake it up

It"s so insane, I"m so insane
Going insane, I"m so insane
Leave it to me from here
 


To the Stage

I"m out the door, I"m on my ass again like every night before
I"m off the wall, out of my fucking mind, I"m out of control
I"ll be the end of her, I"m in her head and in control
She"s let me in, now take a sip and let the show begin
The floor"s all yours, the house is full
You"ve made the slip now take the fall
I pull your strings, you"re too deep in
So will she sink or swim

Ladies and Gentlemen place your fucking bets,
Here we come

Oh she"s down, how very spectacular
What a work of art I"ve spawned
Man am I proud of myself on this one
She"s such a fucking masterpiece
Self destruction in such a pretty little thing

I know that I should walk away
But I can"t bring myself to quit this game
She"s just a beautiful girl with the weight of the world on her shoulders
I"m just a kick in the teeth from a world that"s painted gold

She"s out the door, she"s on her ass again like every night before
She"s off the wall, out of her fucking mind, she"s out of control
I was the end of her
In her head, in control

Just like before
I should"ve told you again
That I"m sorry
I"m so sorry
