Serpent, burn in Hell Burn me alive and take my life back, I don't deserve this body Every day is another battle, and I'm tired of fighting The devil grabs my throat, and now I know that I'm not the only one to blame Years of empty bottles and broken

I'm so tired We are not cool no mo' as far as I can see You kicked me down I've fallen, I'm crawlin' It's all your fault Of all the problems you've been causin' me Mo' money, mo' problems it is Now I'm back to writin' my lyrical novel again I'm holdin'

We don't run I'm standing my ground And we don't back down Bless each tear and this dirt I was born in (run) We don't run, we don't run I'm not afraid of burning bridges 'Cause I know they're gonna light my way Like a Phoenix, from the ashes Welcome to

Blacked out, like the clouds hanging over this heart of mine Not a shadow of a doubt, blacked out Blacked out, like it was in 1968 Like Johnny Cash any given day Like a Mach 1 Fastback Mustang These Ray Bans covering up my eyes I won't lie, it hurts like

And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street Going back to the corner where I first saw you Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move 'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me And your heart starts to wonder
