[Verse 1]
Out of everybody, you were who I hated most
A fucking grown man who's afraid of ghosts
All those secrets you could only find a way to cloak
All that venom laced in everything you'd say to folks
Drinking and laughing with that pathetic parade of jokes
Great insults for a guy sitting with a plate of coke
With a wife and kid at home, how could you betray 'em both?
For these stupid whores, where's your loyalty? You made an oath
Oh! Look at the results of a lost soul sowing his oats
In a sea full of fucking sharks rowing his boat
With a hole in it plus it's dark, you ain't got nowhere to go
And so, you threw away every gift you had
For another bag, 'nother fifth, two a day
Sad, all those opportunities that you had
Peoplе would kill for, you threw in the trash
Low self еsteem, misconstrue it as brash
Your old selfish dream and that ruinous wrath
That chews you in half day to day on a regular basis
You just run the other way whenever you face this fact
And I'm getting so sick of your face in the mirror
There no place where it's clearer than there
Going zero to here in an instant, running on instinct
Can't get your dreams and your nightmares in sync

[Hook]
Those ghosts talk to me in my head
Yeah, they're still there, no they're not dead
And there was so much blood to be shed
But I could never kill them all
Prayers for rain to wash away
But no, Heaven never calls
We stay trapped in yesterday
And that's the legend of the fall

[Verse 2]
Taking a look at you is difficult, creature in his cups is ugly
Too high to keep reaching for the stuff, unlovely
Off the hinges, out on the fringes
Outsider out for revenge and vengeance
The war never ends, it spins in the winds and trenches
Sensing the bloodshed, it begins and it ends with
Regrets you had had, too many things to mention
All those ghosts in the past are a grim contingent
But what's fueling the engine? There's no fooling/pretending
No principles among this hard-knock school we're attending
You're willing to partake in any rule that you're bending
This land of the heartbreak where nobody remembers your name
Unless you king or menace, the same
Between Heaven and Hell, I had seen the pendulum swang
Watched the hope float away in ten inches of rain
So is it dope show today or penances and pain?
Yeah, I seen it all, everything you ever been through
It all happened how it's supposed to, it was all essential
All the things that you endured, the bottom you descent to
It's time to let go of that past, stop being sentimental
So I forgive you for all the shit that you lived through
For all the shit that was done to you, everything that you did too
Melting a cold heart and stepping out of that igloo
Emerges a good man, but you was a good kid too
