This is fate for the scoundrels! Scoundrels! Make amends for what you've done. A truth I never imagined was (You). You fucked it up and ruined everything. A life like a wolf in sheep's clothing White noise, can you see it in the air? Towards the light, embrace the nightmare They hold the keys now there's nowhere to run You can hide but they will seek Now here they come And while you're out tonight I hope you never find a way home From the selfish ones that you have now become And while I sleep tonight I know I’ll never be like you Always failing to carry the world on your own Being surrounded by the wrong kinds of people is the worst thing you can do. And if you laugh the world will laugh too. But if you weep you'll weep alone I can't be thinking I'm sitting here drinking Alone in the dark Played myself as the victim And not to mention My only intentions We're never exceptions For you to ever act this way Beauty is skin deep, Inside you're dead Walk with the devil And you'll go to hell Bite the bullet. You won't be born again. Such is life, This is the bitter end And while you're out tonight I know you'll never find a way home From the selfish ones that you have now become And while I sleep tonight I know I’ll never be like you Always failing to carry the world on your own You're never gonna make it on your own It's time to forgive The ones who always doubted me It's time to move on The world is right in front of me I’ll never look back On anything you've done to me A life of disguise That turned into a tragedy And if you carry the burden of burdens, there's too much weight to hold on Spit out your last ounce of blood Turn blue and know that judgement is coming for you. Where you'll come out the casualty And while you're out tonight I hope you never find a way home. From the selfish ones that you have now become And while I sleep tonight I know I’ll never be like you. Because I know. This is fate for the scoundrels!

A land abounds in golden glory. And all we have now is history Imagine perfection is possible A world where I used to have it all I never thought I could be king Best of the best, the snake in the rats nest I never thought I could be king Valhalla is my home Valhalla is my home I was forged in the fires of a desperate cry Lost in space & time to be denied In life And now everything is colder and I'm hoping of being better off without this cup of liquored up escape Take a step back Now leap forward Show the world You really want it Liberate yourself from A state of mind I've been there before Now it's time to shine I hold onto a dream. A life that's better for me Valhalla Still shines so vividly. With all my heart. You can't take nothing No you can't take nothing ‘Cause everyone I've ever known is gone Will I ever make it? everyone I've ever known is gone Will I ever make it? Dressed in a veil of black You change the world I see No negativity No more dying dreams Sacrifice and patience Rub it in the faces of all those who doubt us. I was forged in the fires of a desperate cry. With this fire inside, waiting to realize The sky's the limit and potentials within I don't want this life, I want to be king I hold onto a dream. A life that's better for me Valhalla Still shines so vividly. With all my heart. You can't take nothing No you can't take nothing ‘Cause everyone I've ever known is gone Will I ever make it? everyone I've ever known is gone Will I ever make it? We all need pain at some point to push us forward. Sacrifice your feelings Let the good times roll. Let the good times fucking roll ‘Cause everyone I've ever known is gone Will I ever make it? everyone I've ever known is gone Will I ever make it?

Those Nights 03:22
Those nights I walked along street lights. Forgot who I was Finding myself  Stuck in the same place I'm taking my chances With making it on my own Stealing her heart And taking her home Then she said I don't wanna stop,  Baby get on top Show me what you got until the sun comes up. I've been smokin’ up drinking up Dreaming of a place where the party don't stop. So why you gotta question me on everything girl? You’re not In my spot You see I'm not the one asking about you. I'm comin’ up I'm dreamin’ of. Being posted up and down Florida  If you think that I can show it off.  Then I’ll show you all that I've got Taking her time to leave  Isn't easier on me  I never wanted her to stay ‘til the morning I only needed her to come for the night  Now back tracing my footsteps I can't seem to shake these shades of regret  And my heart, when it beats it gets harder to breathe  It's not so simple to pretend that you don't exist I'm comin’ up I'm dreamin’ of.  Being posted up and down Florida  If you think that I can show it off.  Then I’ll show you all that I've got SHOW YOU ALL I’VE GOT! Why can't you see it gets harder to breathe, when I'm thinking all on my own all about you?

Patience 02:51
I'm right back where I started. 3 years ago I'm counting down the days. Before I'm lost without a trace This empty house brought sorrow Bloody walls and bullet holes Selfish psycho, is that how you react? Take a look in the mirror and face 7 years of bad luck 7 years 7 years Conjour me, if you believe Awake from this bad dream. The bed bugs won't bite. This night is worse than it seems Don't pack your bags just yet Coz I won't be there when you breakdown Don't leave this broken city A chance to start again is all we have The beauty of this place is waiting for another day I know I barely scratch the surface I know I'm rarely seen as kind So while they're trying to pull me under I’ll never feel no pain I will always be stronger than them Let me know when the wait is over. Divide these walls that keep our solace. I've been wasted, I've been patient Divide these walls that keep our solace. DIVIDE THESE WALLS THAT KEEP OUR SOLACE! I know I barely scratch the surface I know I'm rarely seen as kind So while they're trying to pull me under Ill never feel no pain I will always be stronger than them

Mirrors 03:47
I've spent my life waiting Just to live like I'm wasting Away like a ship lost at sea And the only one to blame is me Trapped by bad memories Trashing my life Triggered constantly And I don't want to be dragged down by these demons I don't want to be dragged down by these Demons You drag me by the wrist into the rippled river I close my eyes Cause here lies one name thats writ in the water I think I know what's to come But this time you left me on my own Now I'm so far gone And if you've seen what I see You'll know life ain't easy There's no reflection in the mirror How could I be so blind? In my mind’s eye You make me feel so invisible I ask the mysteries of life In my mind’s eye And I hope that one day Someday I won't be afraid I’m so lost and alone I can’t think of a place to call home I feel so empty With no plug to fill the void I live so scared With no guidance, no help. No one to talk to. But it's all in my head The only one who's really judging you is yourself I'm slowly becoming one of them. Keep trying to fight myself There's no reflection in the mirror How could I be ‘so blind? In my mind’s eye You make me feel so invisible I ask the mysteries of life In my mind’s eye

If the shoe fits, I can take you on this journey A path that leads to two bridges burning While things are changing I'm thinking The anger I've been keeping can't be worth it Your whole life you'll stumble and fight That’s just the karma you'll sink in Show me you have a heart Show me your tears aren't just a pity party It's not so easy To understand You're wasting away Lifeless and Lingering You're drowning yourself With the weight of the world on shoulders you're faking it all To leave here with nothing to say Taking a fall with no one to show you the way Treat people the same way you'd like to be treated I doubt you wanna be shot down and scared of your feelings If you think you're so in the right, well let me lend you a flame, so when your eyes adjust you'll know you're to blame Stop taking your chances Hold onto the ones that are closest. Stop living the lie you're creating. And let go of the guilt left inside Villainous reflection No mirror in sight You're looking back on your every move Entranced by a state of muse Become aware you're a liar and a thief So don't blame me or the rest of the world It's not so easy To understand You're wasting away Lifeless and Lingering you're drowning yourself with the weight of the world on your shoulders you're faking it all To leave here with nothing to say Taking a fall with no one to show you the way You're better off dead Keep dreaming Peace not destruction Stop turning our worlds into storms I will learn to forgive But I promise to never forget The shackles of possession That prevented me from leaving you Beauty in reverie The place that I’ve needed to be Is more than a dream I'm ready to live I'm ready to live We won't meet again. Everything was a lie Everything was just a lie until you left me for dead
