And you said it all With your blank stare Filled with disappointment I couldn't cope For just one second And ended on the pavement So don't look at me now I hit the ground I said don't look at me now I hit the ground I'll count to ten Pinch myself again And just hope this ain't real I don't understand I'm in a hole again And lost all will So don't look at me now I hit the ground I said don't look at me now I hit the ground

My Demise 01:33
I just can't, no I can't I just can't get you out of my mind Those blue eyes Have me hypnotized I have found my true vice Your're my demise But bloody nice You're so sweet, now I can't sleep I just can't get you out of my mind And those lips I just can't resist I admit you're my true vice My demise Got me thinking twice I just can't, no I can't I just can't get you out of my mind Those blue eyes Have me hypnotized I have found my true vice Your're my demise But I'm still gonna roll the dice.

This is the beginning of the end The beginning of the end my friend The beginning of the end The beginning of the end You're trying hard but can't succeed In this place full of greed Where no one has your back and Anything could be a fucking trap And right now You're against the wall Time's out You were dealt a blow Money's scarce you're running out of options I know you're scared and can't take action There's no gain, no satisfaction You're in disarray and got no traction Right now I'm against the wall Time's out I was dealt a blow Right now You're against the wall Time's out I was dealt a blow This is the beginning of the end The beginning of the end my friend The beginning of the end The beginning of the end.

I see the sky it's burning Right in front of me Oh I feel the flames They shine so bright I've never felt this way I sense the decay from miles away I'm enslaved, I'm a prisoner These four walls are my new home I locked the door And threw away the key I just thought it would help Help me sleep But now I'm six feet deep I'm trying so hard to find a way out But my self-doubt is weighing me down It plunders and rips my soul I sometimes wonder Can I make it out of this alive? I'm enslaved, I'm a prisoner These four walls are my new home I locked the door And threw away the key I just thought it would help Help me sleep But now I'm six feet deep I'm trying so hard to find a way out But my self-doubt is weighing me down It plunders and rips my soul And makes me ponder Will I make it through the night?
5.
Don't blame me for your decisions You're no puppet, I'm no puppeteer You double down on your prescriptions And you drink till you can't see clear So don't come and blame me now Cause I've had it up to here Point that finger elsewhere And go find someone who cares It's all on you and it's time for you To deal with your own shit Have you no shame Not all is a game Just stop trying To stain my name Don't blame me for your decisions You're no puppet I'm no puppeteer You double down on your prescriptions And you drink till you can't see clear So don't come and blame me now Cause I've had it up to here Point that finger elsewhere Or I will break it off i swear.

Strike Two 00:35
All is said and done And another lesson learned But I don't think that I can take it I can't shake it, I won't fake it Trying to spot what's real Your stare is one that kills I'm in fucking pain And it's my fault Cause I committed the greatest sin of them all I put you ahead of me And now you're gone And I just hate myself
7.
One day you will run out of excuses And corners to hide so enjoy the ride I've been storming through the ashes For quite some time it's been my daily grind And just when you think it can't get worst That's when you realize you're fucking cursed And just when all is about to burst That's when you say hey, life's a hoax In a body bag, you will lay one day All bloodied up you were led astray But keep indulging the perks of living large With no regrets cause once they're gone it hits hard And just when you think it can't get worst That's when you realize you're fucking cursed And just when all is about to burst That's when you say hey, life's a hoax.
8.
The warning signs were there But I didn't care to listen So this is my cross to bear No worries I won't dare to share And I still wonder some nights What would have been? What could have changed? Where will I be now? Will I be up or down? I'm out of strikes And it won't be Easy to let go This was a new low I'm just trying to understand I'm dying to comprehend I'll kill to make amends I'm sorry I really am The warning signs were there But I didn't care to listen So this is my cross to bear No worries I won't dare to share And I still wonder some nights What would have been? What could have changed? Where will I be now? Will I be up or down?
9.
I'm taking this moment with me I just wish I could take that smile too Cause I know that is what I'll miss the most On my darkest days that's what brightened them up And you, you have your own journey Your own demons to fight So go on write your story Even though sometimes it might get blurry I'll cherish it forever I will hold it oh so close to my heart And I wont let go, oh no never On my weakest nights That's what will carry me through And you, you have your own journey Your own demons to fight So go on write your story Even though sometimes it might get bloody.
