Blood, sweat, all the tears
Every little bit of it led me here
Every single turn, every petty fear
Every challenge that I've conquered has made it clear
The friends that I've made
The games that I've played
Every bridge that I've burned
When I had to persuade
Those around me holding keys
To doors of opportunity
When chaos reigned and all I
Wanted was unity
Compromises to my morality
And all my values in totality
Could never withstand the
Anti-guidance hand that
Led me to this eventuality
I just don't know when to stop
I just can't see what I've got
And it's too late to take it back
(To take it back, to take it back)
In my mind, in my heart
I know, it will start
These choices, I make
Will eventually break
The fabric, of time
As I walk, on the line
Between right, and wrong
(Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong)
This money and power I hold
Will be the death of me
Before I let it be the end of those I love
'Cuz money never bought me happiness
And now I'm paying the price
I'm paying the price with my soul
A weight's been lifted
Through sands I've sifted
The dynamic shifted
And I came out gifted
With a brand new perspective
Of what I have to do
When the going gets tough
And I have to pick and choose
Between my sanity
My ideas morally
And the toxic hatred
Of all humanity
It hurts to see a soul
So far gone
It mistakes the flames of Hell
For the sun
I wanted peace of mind
Was that too much to ask
Just shut your f- mouth
Such a simple task
But you can't even see
All the lives you're ruining
By claiming to have found
The second coming
A liar, A thief
Or Something in between
Is apparently more of a friend than me
I was freely honest
But you gave him your money
In exchange for the lies
That you use to shun me
In my mind, in my heart
I know, it will start
These choices, I make
Will eventually break
The fabric, of time
As I walk, on the line
Between right, and wrong
(Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong)
This money and power I hold
Will be the death of me
Before I let it be the end of those I love
'Cuz money never bought me happiness
And now I'm paying the price
I'm paying the price with my soul
