Becoming - Volbeat

Only jealousy is blind But there's a light that brings me back It takes me to the right horizon Takes me where I want to be Blood is running down the river I feel like fond of destruction Is destiny playing a dirty trick on you When you where not the one you wanted to be? Can't you see the pain inside Over the years we can hide? How long will you be able to stand yourself If you think no one is stopping you? Only jealousy is blind But there's a light that brings me back It takes me to the right horizon Takes me where I want to be

A long time ago, I never knew myself Then the memory of shame birthed its gift No more the small one, the weak one, the frightened one Running from beatings, deflating I'm becoming more than a man More than you ever were Driven and burning To rise beyond Jesus I'm born again With snake's eyes Becoming God size I found my life was slipping through my hands Perhaps through death my life won't be so bad I can see you Can fuck you, inside of you Staring through your eyes Belittle your friends to serve me To suck me To realize my saving grip I, of suicide I, the Unlord I'm born again With snake's eyes Becoming God size I'm born again With snake's eyes Becoming God size

My mirror looking back at me with images of broken dreams An interlock between intentions and solutions She can't recall the words she said Estranged from my own world, everything I knew is gone What is real when you're becoming digital Stop the stream and take control, images of you inside my datastore Nothing's real, when you're becoming digital Corrupted protocol inside my interface is shutting down Willl I be me when I'll be back online I can't pretend we're still the same Estranged from my own world, everything I knew is gone What is real when you're becoming digital Stop the stream and take control, images of you inside my datastore Nothing's real, when you're becoming digital

It's a shame that you don't know me cuz I never Made it past the third string My coach never gave me a chance he's always Blowing his whistle at me Put me in your game and I promise not to shoot A three I'll stick with twos I don't wanna make a steal unless you make a pass I'll never personal foul you Did you have to give your boyfriend all my letters I didn't know he was six foot eight He shoved me inside a locker and I ended up on the rebound I called time out it was too late It's a shame that you don't know me cuz I never Made it past the third string My coach never gave me a chance he's always Blowing his whistle at me Put me in your game and I promise not to shoot A three I'll stick with twos I don't wanna make a steal unless you make a pass I'll never personal foul you Did you have to give your boyfriend all my letters I didn't know he was six foot eight He shoved me inside a locker and I ended up on the rebound I called time out it was too late I called time out it was too late I called time out it was too late.
