Hungry Lights
My Reward
Pardon me, 
I could hang from the canopy 
Do what I got to—I’m not a fan of making ghosts, 
But it’s not up for debate—hand’s free 
When it saw what laid in front of me, 
It thought I should procure more than the rest of you 
-Leaked out black for so long, 
And now I’m face to face with the option 
Still you praise me, acting like I’m a hero 
Nah, keep that to yourself… 
‘Cause I don’t show my slinking side 
Unless there’s no one else around 
Like I said, I hate making ghosts, 
But we’ve been shown a gracious prize, 
So now we seemed to point in that direction 

I could hear my heart dribbling thunder 
There goes my secret 
As my greed shows itself, 
You’re all tumbling under six feet of dirt 
That’s a real reward 

Now it's so easy to be the bad guy on this mission 
See we’s about to bust a couple skulls 
And make a run for the home-plate 
Vicious, I know… 
But all those hardships that I had endured 
Persuaded me to think that I might have earned my fortune 
Today’s the day that you see me fly 
You called me wicked ‘cause you’re so grounded 
What makes the difference is that I have what it takes to be me 
I survived while you quivered in the corner and cried 
What are your last words? 
We’ll let you have them 
I could hear my heart dribbling thunder 
There goes my secret 
As my greed shows itself, 
You’re all tumbling under six feet of dirt 
That’s a real reward 

Are you feeling it? 
That’s called agony 
And it only gets worse for you—wait and see 
No more time or space 
In this holy place, 
There exists only one true god, 
And it’s me. 
Again and again, I will blacken the sun 
Dump barrels blood in the sea 
‘Cause that’s all that’ll be left 
Laugh as your spirit’s removed from the skeleton, 
Smashed into bits with the back of my shovel 
-Bullets seal your fate 
Etch this in your brain; 
Did you bury the treasure or dig your own grave? 

Side by side, you all knelt down 
You know, I guess life’s finite after all… 
-A perfect line from A to Z 
When it’s time to meet you maker, 
Don’t be a coward 
Take it like a man, and face me! 
Here’s to the journey! 
It’s been a wild ride 
I understand if you hate me, 
But just say thank you for the moments 
And thank you for the dreams 
Thanks for the adventure, 
Thanks for the time spent 
You don’t bounce back after this 
No, this is the pinnacle 
Don’t be so cynical 
We all can’t be winners 
O’ I don’t wanna’ hear you plea! 
Just say thank you for the freedom! 
I’ll take the pain away for good 
Don’t you go thinking that there’s a better place 
Nobody bounces back from this 
No, there is no afterlife 
-Just nothing forever 
So don’t you lie, and don’t pretend 
Wipe your tears so you can see the end 
I’m not scared of karma 
If such a thing exists, 
Then I should have been silenced the day I left your shore 
Life’s just chain reactions 
Line up your troubles and blast them aside 
No one will find them 
No one could watch them die
