So everything happens for a reason, well, who do you think you are?
Drown me in lies while I'm undressing you in the back of my car
With the stars over us this ain't where I wanna be
But it's the only place where I feel king
It's just the midnight sky reminds me of those starry eyes
And the bottle I am drowning in ain't making it any easier
If he's so special then why don't he come out and fight me
Just to give me one
Give me one good reason why I should not burn down your house
Give me one good reason why I should not burn down your house
Falling into the street, stumbling through my mind
Drinking myself to death over what isn't mine anymore
And I've lost control of who I used to be
I've lost control
It's just this moment is bringing me back to the start of it all
Burn
You are the only one
You are the only one
You are the only one
And I've lost control of who I used to be
I've lost control
Give me one good reason why I should not burn down your house
Give me one good reason why I should not burn down your house
Give me one reason
Falling into the street, stumbling through my mind
Falling into the street, stumbling through my mind
Drinking myself to death over what isn't mine anymore

Control

It starts with an idea moving faster than the rest
Well how quickly can I succeed without leaving the comfort of my own bed?
Presently I struggle with the concept of failing upward
At the rate that you have
It's just a matter of time before they find you out
You'll be left here
You'll be left here
It's just the feeling creeping through my skin and into my bones
Every decision that you make just deepens the hole
I've tried to fight it, tried to keep it within my soul
But when those words slither out, I just my lose fucking control
How has no one seen behind the curtain
Or does no one care to call you out?
Or does no one care to call you out?
Maybe it's just my opinion on what makes a man
It's just this feeling creeping through my skin and bones
So just deepen the hole
I try to fight it to keep it within my soul
But when these words slither out I might lose fucking control
Control
I just might lose control
I can try to self-medicate but this hate will eat through my soul
I've just got to come to terms that I'll live my life with blood on my hands
Behind bars doesn't seem so bad
The world won't miss another shitty dad
Give me just a moment, just a moment of satisfaction
Don't worry, honey, it's a true act of passion
I can't let you leave here alive
I can't let you leave here alive

If you try hard enough they'll let you on in
It's only your soul
Just give up, just give in and follow the trend
Regret nothing
Individuality is the new sin
Give up, give in
Just give up, just give in and follow the trend
If you want to taste the heavens and chase stars
Throw away your passion, give in to fashion
I'll step on anyone just to reach the top
Family means nothing when money's involved
Friends are useless and get in your way
I want the hoes the blow the shows cause its the only
I worship idols that take all my money
Promises of fame and glory
You're a constant reminder of what I don't wanna become
Just take a look at yourself, is this what you wanna be?
It's only your soul, give up give in
Regret nothing, give up give in
Just take a look at yourself, is this what you wanna be?
Just take a look at yourself, is this what you wanna be?
If you try hard enough they'll let you on in
Just give up, just give in and follow the trend
Individuality is the new sin
Just give up, just give in and follow the trend
If you try hard enough, If you try hard enough
If you try hard enough, If you try hard enough

Excuse me, I wasn't listening to your continuous ramble on perfection
Every moment my stomach gets a little bit sicker
Give me something to believe in cause I know this ain't right
(No, this ain't right)
Give me something to believe in cause I know this ain't right
You've been led astray by a man with false delusions and hate
And to think I had such high expectations
Oh, give me a break, people actually listen to the words that you say
Oh, give me a break, people actually listen to the words that you say
Yeah
Hell Yeah
Excuse me, I wasn't listening to your flawed sense of love
Every moment my fist gets a little bit tighter
Close your mouth, I can't stand the sound of your voice
Close your mouth, I can't stand the sound of your voice
Give me something to believe
To believe
Give me something to believe in
Give me something to believe in
Wake, wake me, wake me from this illusion

Bound to hold this curse on my shoulders
For fear of the future brought him to the edge of insanity
The first thing I will do my freedom is wring your neck
I won't be forgotten to rot under the weight of the world
The only thing keeping me holding on
Is the image of my hands wrapped around your neck
You'll be forced to watch the kingdom you strived so hard to build
Fall to ashes
"Welcome to the end of your life, and I promise it's going to hurt"
No happy ending, just watching your world fall apart
No happy ending, just watching your world fucking fall apart
Soon as I am free from this curse

Don't believe all the things that you hear
The voices, the voices, the voices, they only feed off your fear
Falling short of their own ambition
Moving you is your new life mission
You can raise your voice, you can stomp your feet
Put your hands on me, but you can't move me
But you can't move me
Just because you're slipping and tripping
Cause someones got you to stop gripping on to your dreams don't hate me
If you can't bite don't show your teeth
Don't believe everything that you hear
The voices, the voices, the voices only feed off your fears
The only true test in life is to conquer all your fears one day at a time
'Til they all disappear
Keep it moving, keep your head help up high
And don't be scared to look enemies in the eyes
The only true test in life is to conquer all your fears one day at a time
They'll all disappear
Don't believe all the things that you hear
The voices, the voices, the voices, they only feed off your fear
Fear
Don't stand in my way cause I'm reaching
Cause I'm reaching for the sun
I may not reach it but I'm reaching for the sun
I may not reach it but don't stand in my way, I'm reaching for the sun
I may not reach it, but I'll be damned if you stand in my way
