Up so early feel so bright I didn't get much sleep last night Freight train rattled through my head A whistle blowing love is dead Is dead Heart attacked by fear and doubt Won't be long 'til the truth comes out First impressions never last Lover's bonds they hold so fast Restless future burning bright The past is holding on so tight I've never heard the warning bell And I just wanna wish you well I just wanna wish you well Welcome swallows dip and swing Take their cue from the slightest thing Rolling fog into my room Why d'you give up on me so soon? So soon Restless future burning bright The past is holding on so tight I've never heard the warning bell And I just wanna wish you well I just wanna wish you well I just wanna wish you well I just wanna wish you well Why d'you give up on me so soon? D'you give up on me so soon? I just wanna wish you well I just wanna wish you well

Yesterday I came home early and found her laying on my bed She was down on her knees boy just giving you hell You turned to me and saw that hurt look in my eyes What you saw there was no big surprise Well as you got off I heard you say What the Lord giveth The Lord taketh away Turn my eyes a deeper shade of blue Turn my eyes a deeper shade of blue Turn my eyes a deeper shade of blue Turn my eyes a deeper shade of blue After kicking you out I turned on the evening news The anchorman was talking about disaster without no clues The film was rolling on the background screen behind his head My mom and dad's plane was grounded the hard way instead As the plane crashed down I heard him say What the Lord giveth The Lord taketh away Turn my eyes a deeper shade of blue Turn my eyes a deeper shade of blue Turn my eyes a deeper shade of blue Turn my eyes a deeper shade of blue Everybody is always trying to tell me that hard times are just the Lord's will Well I believe No I know That I can overcome any obstacle And choose my own destiny Nobody is going to tell me what to do with my life Not my parents Not my teachers Not you And not your fucking god And do you know why It's because I don't have to do anything but stay white and die That's right You heard me Ha Well the preacher walked up I heard him say What the Lord giveth The Lord taketh away Turn my eyes a deeper shade of blue Turn my eyes a deeper shade of blue Turn my eyes a deeper shade of blue Turn my eyes a deeper shade of blue

I feel the lightning in the thunder, inside my bones And the sky is getting darker The storm starts to show I hear the wind as it is howling Clouds appear I am running from the rain drops I'm running from here Where do I go? Tell me Where do I go? Oh there's a storm coming Oh there's a storm coming Oh hear the roar It's coming down Coming down Oh there's a storm coming Oh there's a storm coming Oh hear the roar It's coming down Coming down Coming down Coming down I can't see where I am going Can't tell if it's night or day The ground it feels like it is shaking The storm blows me away I am trying to find shelter I am trying to find someone else But my feet won't take me further I am stuck here by myself Where do I go? Tell me Where do I go? Oh there's a storm coming Oh there's a storm coming Oh hear the roar It's coming down Coming down Oh there's a storm coming Oh there's a storm coming Oh hear the roar It's coming down Coming down It's coming down Coming down

Trapped down inside of me In catacombs of blackened dreams Cages of memories Whispers of what could've been I tried to find a way Just to see the light of day But these halls have no escape And I'm running. Set me free, awaken me From the cemetery of memories Yesterday's ghost, is all I know. Pull me from the shadows 'cause I. Can't let go, buried in the catacombs I Can't let go, I'm buried in my catacombs ALONE! Trapped down inside again The walls around me closing in This cage of suffering Buried underneath my skin I tried to find a way Just to see the light of day These halls have no escape And I'm running away Set me free, awaken me From the cemetery of memories Yesterday's ghost, is all I know. Pull me from the shadows 'cause I. Can't let go, buried in the catacombs I Can't let go, I'm buried in my catacombs ALONE! Am I sinking and drowning? (Alone) Am I sinking and drowning? (Alone) In the walls that surround me. Am I sinking and drowning? (Alone) In the walls that surround me. These halls have no escape And I'm running away AWAY. Set me free, awaken me From the cemetery of memories Yesterday's ghost, is all I know. Pull me from the shadows 'cause I. Can't let go, buried in the catacombs I Can't let go, I'm buried in my catacombs ALONE!

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' left 'Cause I've been blasting and laughing so long That everyone thinks my mind is gone But I ain't never crossed a man (that didn't deserve it) To be treated like a punk (you know that's unheard of) You better watch how you're talking and where you're walking 'Cause this life will leave you lined in chalk Been spending most of life, living in the gangster's paradise Been spending most of life, living in the gangster's paradise Forget the situation, they got me facin' I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the stripes So I gotta be down with the hood team 'Cause television watching got me chasing dreams Death ain't nothin' but a heartbeat away I'm living life, do or die (what can I say?) I'm here right now, will I see tomorrow? The way things are going I don't know Tell me why are we so blind to see That the ones we hurt are you and me? (Tell me) Been spending most of life, living in the gangster's paradise Been spending most of life, living in the gangster's paradise Been spending most of life, living in the gangster's paradise Been spending most of life, living in the gangster's paradise Power and the money, money and the power Minute after minute, hour after hour Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking What's goin' on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin' Say I gotta learn, nobody's here to teach me I can't understand but how can they reach me? I guess they can't, I guess they won't I guess I'm fucked, that's how I know my life is out of luck Been spending most of life, living in the gangster's paradise I've been spending most of life, living in the gangster's paradise Been spending most of life, living in the gangster's paradise I've been spending most of life, living in the gangster's paradise Why are we so blind to see That the ones we hurt are you and me?
