I remember in the day, I was just a girl Thinking how cool this is My man is calling from jail I know I was naïve, a fool in love And looking back it was doomed to fail, life was too tough Feels like a million years ago But I don't look back, 'cause I wanna go forward We were so young We could have been kings and queens We could have been anything We could have far in the world, when I was your girl Two diamonds from the gutter We could have been kings and queens We could have lived all our dreams If I could have set you free, I would, believe me But we didn't get it right this time Maybe in another life Maybe in another life Maybe in another life Maybe in another life Come to your mama's house, I'd stay too late I get in trouble, and they're sending out the search party I think you ended it, 'bout fourteen times Just for the thrill of gettin' back together after the fight Feels like a million years ago But I don't look back, 'cause I wanna go forward We were so young We could have been kings and queens We could have been anything We could have far in the world, when I was your girl Two diamonds from the gutter We could have been kings and queens We could have lived all our dreams If I could have set you free, I would, believe me But we didn't get it right this time Maybe in another life Maybe in another life Maybe in another life Maybe in another life And I don't look back, 'cause I wanna go forward But I hope you're well, got what you wanted You still cross my mind, are you OK? I pray you'll get it right next time So maybe in another life Maybe in another life Maybe in another life Maybe we'll be better next time We could have been kings and queens We could have been anything We could have far in the world, when I was your girl Two diamonds from the gutter We could have been kings and queens We could have lived all our dreams If I could have set you free, I would, believe me But we didn't get it right this time Maybe in another life

Well take it easy While the world goes crazy As it's just another day And we've all been through the mangle And our pockets are empty But we'll live like kings and queens Hear the choirs of noise sing Take a load off my mind soothe me Live like kings and queens Well easy sleazy In and out and back again Feel a power running through me And i'm alive and kicking I accept submission To the pleasures of the flesh And the joy of pain Satisfy me satisfy Live like kings and queens I said: "take it easy "Sanity has come" I can never undo The wrong of the beginning There's so many hungry But i'm gonna turn a blind eye 'Cos i've got to live now Rejoice and kill your heart 'cos i say... Live like kings and queens

I've thought about it hell, about a million times. It takes all my strength just to keep it calm. But I'll have to tell myself, it's better just to breathe. Holding it inside, only help to do me in. Each time I close my eyes, I see another chain. It's one I can't forget, something I can not break out of. I need a second skin, something to hold me up. Can't seem to get out of this hole I've dug myself right back in. Just to wake up tells me, hell I must be brave. It hits me like a drug, shot into my veins. But it's not as delightful, delightful of a pain. Immobilizing me, Almost makes me think I'm dead. But I'll need a second skin, Something to hold me tough. Can't do it on my own, Sometimes I need just a little more help well. I've got that chance to give, every drop that's left in me. But I'll need that second skin, Something I can not break out of. But I'll just tell myself girl, just let it breathe. It's a calmness, I'm always searching for. But the dirt it gets so heavy, It falls above my head. Seeping from under my feet, It just keeps on getting deeper. I'll need a second skin, Something to hold me up. Can't do it on my own, Sometimes I need just a little more help well. I've got that chance to give, every drop that's left in me. But I'll need that second skin Something I cannot break free of. Though no one ever said it'd be easy. Still one's left to deny. The choice that comes between, Your willingness to survive. Now you're know what you stand up against, A world set to deceive. You need a special strength yeah. I've got that second skin. I've got that chance to give. I've got the only way that I know how to live with it. But I'll need that second skin, Something to hold me tough. I'll need a second skin, Something I can not break out of.

Awaken in a state it's not my own The only thing that's real Is that amongst these walls, I whisper to a fear that sleeps in my soul Weighting on my conscience, but I think I know It hurts me to be angry Kills me to be kind But my only torment Is my own disguise Waiting on these favors they only come to show There's not much in them for you to hold Awaken to the sudden fact that I've Simply wasted chances, but I'm not yet to die Waiting for my temperament to calm Well maybe they can't hear the crap behind these eyes It hurts me to be angry Kills me to be kind But my only torment Is my own disguise Waiting on the favors they only come to show There's not much in them for you to hold It starts to become something I can't touch but you can feel But there's something else surrounding me It's not easy to see Awaken to the only chance I've got Hide behind these walls, I look through the cracks I see the same mistakes that I once made All that I can tell you there is a price to pay It hurts me to be angry Kills me to be kind But my only torment Is my own disguise Waiting on these favors they only come to show There's not much in them for you to hold It starts to become something I can't touch but you can feel But there's something else surrounding me It's not easy to see It hurts me to be angry Kills me to be kind But my only torment Is my own disguise Waiting on these favors they only come to show There's not much in them at all

There goes your burning, you can't anticipate The things you push for now are just forgotten the next day And then you masturbate in your thoughts in our own eyes Then you push some things on us you wont let us deny There you go pushing us again Well, I wont always have to understand There you're setting your own life on lies, forget about tomorrow, we're here to survive You apologize and I accept it all on faith But still you do not try to push away your old mistakes. And now I find myself underhand to what you want, you think you'll find it better, child? Well, go out and find it all!

There are these people that use you for Their own need for deception By the size of their lies and The size of the stories that they're telling They've proved themselves to be Very small... minded Do you ever think when you're dealing with the worst The outcome is the best thing for you And by the good of evil is the knowledge That you face it (One day you're going to have to) I could put it in some theme of a tale Or a story from a myth But it means a simple thing I ain't worth nothing if there's no perspective Of truth in my life Do you ever think when you're dealing with the worst The outcome is the best thing for you And by the good of evil is the knowledge That you face it (One day you're gonna fucking have to) I think I've had enough I wonder why I don't just go off Don't like to be a violent woman But I know I have it in me I know I shouldn't be surprised Why some people look like hogs rolling in the mud It's a dying shame That's where some people find truth

Our insecurities, they bend us down on broken knees Our insecurities, we wear them till we cannot see The crap the shit the garbage our mind it has to swallow; It makes us enemies, building up mistrust with greed Turns me to shut the door and hide away while time gets lost Your ignorant response can leave you looking of a beast (Chorus) And when you're pushing me away You're scared you'll get too much And when you're playing the jester Well I guess you ought to Or else it might mirror a flaw that lies in you Oh damn your insecurities Not always insecure, but bold on what you think is right I hope you break the crown before you plate it on your head (Chorus) Oh damn your insecurities, they're catching up with you
