Back again Once again Hand in hand She demand All I am Not the man reprimand Cause I cant Grab her hand So I stand As the brand like a stamp Total shame Now I am kicking sand Borderland So I bring you everything you need Don't mind When you want to take the lead But I regret every time you leave when I Cannot make you talk to me (happy) These are the days that I give up These are the ways Ive had enough These are the times that I dread of Leaving me asking if I'm enough Think of a place where we were just happy sitting together hand in hand Think of a time where we were both nervouse cause we could taste eachother and Try and remember the day where we were together and no one else could stand in our way when night came between us and tried to hold us apart we planned

I wondered so I thought recently back to when you wouldn’t talk to me it seemed like maybe we could be something more than lost history Every time I thought it was a chance It turned out you were with another man Baby, never thought I was a stray that you would ultimately throw away Regrets I already had a bunch Cause I got a second chance to feel your touch Just like this We made peace and bliss So many times Thought it was a granted wish Nights I felt her skin Smothered by her kiss Paranoid her brain Salt her condiment Lack of the instruction She would choose destruction Maybe its her way of saying Her heart has obstructions Only had deductions that she never changed So she just reverted to a girl who blames Me for her lack of happiness when she Would she’s not happy with Everything I do Everything I choose Every little thing that would hope to prove My love for her is an uncharted pool But it turned out to be just a tool So she could make someone else happy While she could say it was all on me.

It's hard to understand how could this have happened It's hard to accept when I'm just a fraction Of the whole god damn thing that was part of me but it turned out I'm not worth your time that's free Gotta stay strong while others take the easy way Want to play hard while I'm in the long game This isn't a mistake This is how it is This ain't a revelation It is violence I could not imagine this is how it would go Cut off after all these years acting like you don't Remember any part of our history Even though I know where to kiss to make you weak Remembering your style and the patience that you preached Remember how you tore my heart apart and the love you breached What would you like me to tell you today What would you want me to say for it to go away How do you want me to tell you how to feel How do you want me to show you what is real Put up with the pressure something's got to give I cannot accept this is how we live Ask me a question and I'll give you an answer do everything you say but it doesn't matter what you did to me I cannot accept You kept our love a secret and then left me for dead. It wasn't a mistake It was how it is I had a revelation You are violence

My hands are so warm when they're in between your legs My heart has grown cold when there's no love in it I had it replaced by the things that I dread How can I be a friend that you disrespect How can I be the enemy you respect All I do is hold you in high regard All it does is get me closer to just being far Every break isn't luck or even magic It's just you deciding when it is that you've had it Count the days that you give silence to a friend count the ways that you offered her to lend a hand ain't no thing not my responsibility maybe all this silence is the reverse of tranquility try to balance being dumb and the being that you step just another name on the list of women in my head give a minute for another fallen soul in it to just win it even though she had a role I cannot convince you cause you're hearts inside a cage I am not the reason that you want a war to wage. Two girls that look alike on the feed Even though they are so different and have different needs Only thing that they both do that is the same Is break my heart and cause trauma to my brain

It feels like I’m losing cause there’s something telling me that you are already gone It feels like I’m helpless when I’m trapped inside of walls, even though it’s my home It makes me hell-bent when you don’t respond and leave me here hanging on How can I help it when there’s nothing that can get me into your loving arms?

I couldn't hold back or tell a lie If there was a chance we wouldn't last the night Everyday id pray you would see the light Stay we me some more or even spend the night Same feeling that once kept me alive Is the feeling that you create inside Wish I had the chance just to hold you tight Give me one more chance to change from wrong to right I couldn't hold back the love I have for you Even though you gave me attitude I couldn't hold back the love that I have for few Not many can get close like you Same feeling that you're stealing turning your back on everything that you had me believing The healing sends me reeling against the ropes falling down cause I'm not breathing Maybe if it was another time or fate we would get to enjoy all that time on dates instead of feeling guilty cause I want more than a friend or feeling jealous when I know that you are out with him Only thing that I want is to reconciliate Bring order to the chaos that I constantly create One thing that I know I cannot live without hope is better than living a life filled with doubts I imagine that you're having the time of your life now that he is around I'm saddened that you don't recall when we were together when he called Idealize tried to make you my queen but that's too much to ask when she tries to cope Now I realize sole reason to love is the only way I've managed to avoid the rope

Do electric machines dream of you? After you've dumped their ass for second time and screwed Your so called best friend again I don't even know cause you never really told the truth You're the one who mummified and entombed the relationship from the start with rules Buried for a thousand years is our loved enslaved by the trauma that you have going inside of your brain I tried to be everything that you never wanted I tried to be better but you plotted You said it wasn't good enough wasn't just a bluff Who would've thought I'm out of touch No use giving up No more is just left relaxing when a love that is only taxing Thought I'd get more for what I am worth Why can't it be repaired I put forth You would never dare to tell me how we really faired How can we shared moments where you never cared quick to erase instead of playing truth or dare quick to escape to another man's lair Maybe in the end it is for the best Maybe breaking my heart is how it rests Make sure to lock up after you have left cause you took a part of me and don't respect Cause you took ownership with your theft

You're eyes full of hate, 41 don't think that you'll escape, Hur's son Keep rowing is your fate, 41 Drowning next to mates for the Roman Sun How long have you been tamed, 41 The hope that you stay sane, under gun Do you still habor blame 41? Masala had you chained and your family done What would you do if you had another chance would you tell her everything instead of heading out to dance with the Devil in the twilight Heaven in the skylight as another victim is just cucified at sunrise Can you see the battle coming, 41 Theres something I can't shake, Like you're my son Already had one lost, 41 Is that why I chose your chains, as the only one To leave unlocked, Ramming speed at 40 knots Gallys fill up with the sea and tattered bodies all caught in the swell and the death 41 will still help one handed slaves entrapped in chains while slaying any gaurds who step In to interefere with escape that is so clear But he sees the Roman Sun and now he feels like the one son Savior or a clean escape 41 for Juda's sake Use the fire on the face of enemies so you can break Maybe in the distance you see the right sail Freedom is just living under Roman rules to avoid jail/death Can you see the fires now 41 tell me your desires 41 Cannot promise their alive 41 But maybe if you race you can still be the Hur son Can you taste the rain now 41? Just like the day he gave you water in the sun Remember as the blood drips 41? And washes away all the pain that has been done

Sometimes I break from the things that you forsake Cant take from me everything that sets me free You are like them twisted face not really a friend your mark the cross Road will lead you to the lost Imagine a day if we could just save instead we destroy everything in our way I don't have the time or the patience i just have the money to buy all of this I see myself, crawling through the mud and hell Cant be yourself cause someone will send you to hell Ain't really that I need your jaded company I'm only glad when I feel like I may have a need I hear pleads over the sound of my screams I hear you need even though i don't have much to bleed Cant seem to see when the fog has lifted from the sea Can someone please tell me whose the victim of my needs Tell me what do you see A world falling to its knees praying to live praying to die praying while more lives are taken with time Together holding hands as nuclear bombs drop skipping toward our destruction is how leaders plot See how you forgot the thousands that got got bullets backed by shots heaven is a plot covered up by dirt where bodies all will rot How can we save it when we erased it Cause we're too proud to renounce our amazement Now they will raise it and take a payment leave the workforce struggling while they choose tax evasion How can I just be this way Did I throw my heart away Hard in a concrete space Is where my soul rots away Understand your grievance so you pledge allegiance Give your live away to brothers who may understand everything ain't gone your way The reflection blinds you from seeing the truth Dedication to lies is how you will use The way you recuse and simply refuse to take responsibility and retribute
