Desperation
I brought this on myself
I went off to the races
Said I didn’t need anyone else
I hit on nineteen and lost it all
Guess you’re always highest before you fall
Now fate’s played its hand
I never thought I’d be forced to do this

Put the money in the bag
I’m not fucking around
One wrong move, I put you in the ground
Palms are shaking now
My breath is giving out
Can barely hear, the way that my heart pounds
Hell, I’m in over my head
I’m in over my head
Make this easy
Give it all over
‘Cause I don’t wanna hurt no one
But if I’m going down, I’ll go swinging
I won’t let Providence eat me alive
He reaches under the counter a little too fast
The panic takes control
Crimson pools stain the tile
The devil cracks a smile
A burning pyre for starvation
Now he’s lifeless on the floor
I’m sprinting out the door
I’ll never be the man I was before

Reflections

Never been a killer
Never sought to harm a soul but now they’ve gone and
Thrown me to the wolves
To fend for myself
Shaking palms, never thought I’d fall this far out of line
But desperation’s claimed its victim, and now I’ve claimed mine
Now I’ve claimed mine
Never been a killer
Never sought to harm a soul but now they’ve gone and
Thrown me to the wolves
To fend for myself
What was I supposed to do?
What was I supposed to do?
Your expression’s got me trembling in the driver’s seat
Its like your phantom’s sitting next to me
You were a stranger, never did a thing to harm me
Please stay, I deserve to be haunted
And I can still see the look of terror in your eyes
As your spirit left the room
Where is the heart of gold I used to know?
Floodwaters crumble my foundation, now I’m on my own
And I’m weak
But I’ve got a daughter to feed
And in the end, when it all goes down in flames
I pray you’ll know me not for what I’ve done but for the man I became
But I’d rather you hate me than see you grow up with hunger pains
So absolve me of tonight, or may history erase my name
May history erase my name
Where is the heart of gold I used to know?
Floodwaters crumble my foundation, now I’m on my own
Where is the heart of gold I used to know?
Floodwaters crumble my foundation, now I’m on my own

Blameless

Faces to the floor
Don’t wanna hurt no one
But I just might
“Take what’s yours
And then you take some more”
Heard that all my life
I’m what Providence chewed up and spat out
I was falling, you all turned your backs, now
There are no innocents
I won’t just fade away
I won’t embrace my grave
Until this city knows my name
What more can I say?
Watch in silence
Hunger pains turn to violence
Trying to survive
Federal Hill, you made me
Can you really say you blame me?
You made this, you ain’t blameless
I won’t just fade away
I won’t embrace my grave
Until this city knows my name
What more can I say?
You made this, you ain’t blameless
You made this, you ain’t blameless

They’ll never take me alive
Run for what’s left of my life
And if my world comes crashing down
At least I’ll be free from my lies
If I get out alive, it’s by the skin of my teeth
Maybe the only problem is me
Maybe the only problem is me
I still see his shadows in the flashing lights
May this haunt me for all my life
I’m in too deep to come back now
I’m too far gone to come down
They’ll never take me alive
Run for what’s left of my life
And if my world comes crashing down
At least I’ll be free from my lies
If I get out alive, it’s by the skin of my teeth
Maybe the only problem is me
I still see his shadows in the flashing lights
May this haunt me for me all my life
Where do I go from here?
I can’t just live in fear
They’ll never take me alive

Letters Home Pt. 2
04:30
|

|
I know I’m ‘bout to lose you but I can’t come home right now
And I’m so fucking sick and tired of hiding but I can’t let you find out
Where I’ve been
‘Cause it’s just not safe for you
Know I still pray for you
But you can’t face the truth
And still live the life that you deserve
So I’ll just have to disappear
Let me burn like an offering and lift you from this town
May you soar above the skyline while my ashes join the ground
May the wind always be at your back
May you find someone with everything I lacked
Once I disappear
Take the fucking money and run
Just take the fucking money and run
Take the fucking money and run
Just take the fucking money and run
Can’t hide no more
I’ve finally hit the floor
I guess this is what rock bottom looks like, huh?
Can’t hide no more
Can’t do this anymore
I’ve dug my grave, now let me rot in peace
Maybe I’ve seen too much
To face the ones I love
And act like it’s all the same
Or maybe I just think too much
And they still have open arms
But honestly, I’m just scared to death
Can’t hide no more
I’ve finally hit the floor
I guess this is what rock bottom looks like, huh?
Can’t hide no more
Can’t do this anymore
I’ve dug my grave, now let me rot in peace

Nose burning, mind’s a haze
I think I’m getting carried away
I couldn’t give a damn though
I’ve never felt so alive
Nose burning, mind’s a haze
I think I’m getting carried away
I couldn’t give a damn though
I’ve never felt so alive
I know exactly what I am
A wolf among the lambs
I never needed trust
The fast life is enough
The fast life is enough
The fast life is enough
No time to regret this shit
Fucking wasted swerving through the styx
In too deep but I love this trip
I’ll never quit
Death or glory
Carve it on my grave if I lose my life tonight
Things might get gory
Crack a bottle, rail a line, fuck it I’ll go out right
I’ll go out right
Nose burning, mind’s a haze
I think I’m getting carried away
I couldn’t give a damn though
I’ve never felt so alive
Nose burning, mind’s a haze
I think I’m getting carried away
I couldn’t give a damn though
I’ve never felt so alive
I’m never coming home
This is my Holy Ghost
Powdered angels on the ceiling
Swerving in my lane now, losing feeling
This is all I see
This is all I need
This is all I see
This is all I need
The fast life’s all I see
The fast life’s all I need

Raise your glasses high
Like it’s the last night of our lives
And fuck ‘em all, I feel invincible
Nothing’s gonna stand in my way
I need another and another til I drop
Feeling like a wolf among he fuckin’ flock
I’ve been silent far too long
So let it pour, pour, pour til I can’t no more
And if they try and shut it down we’ll burn it to the floor
I know just what I am
I’m a killer, I’m a sinner, I’m the man
Moonshine started pouring like a fountain
Blurry eyed, coked out, on the table shouting
“Who’s got the nuts to take me?”
Felt a motherfucker try and pull me down
Next thing I remember’s him on the ground
I’m in too deep to come back now
I’m too far gone to come down
Death or glory
Raise your glasses high
Like it’s the last night of our lives
And fuck ‘em all, I feel invincible
Nothing’s gonna stand in my way
He says that his crew’s around the corner
And that its blood for blood
A blinding flash, and a deafening crack
Is the last thing he knew before his eyes rolled back
The winter breeze stings my face
As my feet hit the sleepless pavement
Maybe I’m not who she’d hoped I was
But goddamn, I went out swinging
And I lost myself for a moment
So gone I didn’t see their car pull up
A blinding flash and a deafening crack
The last thing I knew before my eyes rolled back

Everything that I’ve done is everything that I am
I can’t hide no more
I can’t hide no more
I can’t hide no more
I can’t hide no more
Time stands still
As ashes rain from a kaleidoscope sky
Sewn to the fabric of time
While I piece together the fragments of my life
I’m my own world now
Within myself with nowhere left to run
I don’t want your forgiveness
‘Cause I am everything I’ve done
I can’t hide no more
I can’t hide no more
