Intro: acoustic guitar for 5 bars Verse 1: As far back as I can remember, I struggle to stay on the so called normal path I've been called hot tempered, emotional, and I sometimes overreact I'm still emotional, but lately I've been paralyzedStruggling to function, Did I take my medicine,. Have I prayed to remove the demons Chorus: What words of wisdom, how many times did they say I'm obsessed, and apologize for feeling the wrong way I'm probably high if I'm happy, tough love is what I need Love that judges, disregards and makes me question everything. Verse 2: The doctor has no idea what is inside my head Even if I could explain it, he is not hearing what was said He has more pills, may or may not work, but he wants me to try His job is not to fix me, but recieves a bonus on the prescriptions he writes Repeat chorus: Outro: supposed to suck it up, believe in a system And take my licks Or maybe it was you. And not me that has been sick Intro: acoustic guitar for 5 bars Verse 1: As far back as I can remember, I struggle to stay on the so called normal path I've been called hot tempered, emotional, and I sometimes overreact I'm still emotional, but lately I've been paralyzedStruggling to function, Did I take my medicine,.

[pre-chorus] i try to forget, but i can’t sleep on my own your face in the red of my eyelids in the middle of the night i leave home the snow falls and the frost bites my skin [chorus] i stand at my intersection and cry you left a burning mark on my soul the distance is only a matter of time the flame burns steady and slow [bridge] when the sun meets the sky, i will be okay until then, i taint my spirit with cigarettes i know the stars will align some day and we’ll light the fireplace when the sun sets [chorus] i stand at my intersection and cry you left a burning mark on my soul the distance is only a matter of time the flame burns steady and slow [outro] steady and slow we burn steady and slow we burn we burn steady and slow we burn steady and slow
[Verse] In the shadows I crawl Life's a bitter brawl Dreams just fall Hearts on the wall [Verse 2] Empty streets I wander Clocks that make me ponder Is this all just a filler Life's a heartless thriller [Chorus] Screamin' into the void Truth always destroyed Hope's just a decoy In this cruel ploy [Verse 3] Lost in distant echoes Life's a twisted show No place to go Wounds always grow [Verse 4] Faith shattered in pieces Peace never increases Each day releases More pain never ceases [Chorus] Screamin' into the void Truth always destroyed Hope's just a decoy In this cruel ploy
[Verse] Two years stationed in Russia's chill Building up my defensive hill Hear the whispers cross the wire Enemies burn in the embers of my fire [Verse 2] They said they're coming with iron might But I won't flee I stand to fight Allies claim they seek my end Yet my spirit won't break or bend [Chorus] Bravery echoes through the freezing night Shadows dance in the pale moonlight Fear grips tight but I hold my ground In this war where courage is found [Bridge] Faces hardened by ceaseless war Each side hoping to settle the score Through the pain I see a spark Guiding light in the endless dark [Verse 3] Snow falls heavy masking the dread Nowhere to turn but straight ahead Cannon-fire lights up the sky Stealing hope but we must try [Chorus] Bravery echoes through the freezing night Shadows dance in the pale moonlight Fear grips tight but I hold my ground In this war where courage is found
[Verse] I'm two years into Russia no end in sight Building my defensive line tight There's some guys let's call them the allies Say they want to end my life [Chorus] But that doesn't sit with me quite right I'm scared I see their troops at night But I'll hold on with all my might A storm is coming gotta fight [Verse 2] Winter's cold but my resolve is strong In these trenches is where I belong Got a letter from home it's been so long But the war keeps dragging on [Chorus] But that doesn't sit with me quite right I'm scared I see their troops at night But I'll hold on with all my might A storm is coming gotta fight [Bridge] Friends have fallen by my side In this chaos there's nowhere to hide Yet together we’ll turn the tide For peace and freedom we've cried [Verse 3] I'm two years into Russia the end unclear But I’ll fight through pain and fear With hope and love forever near We'll see the dawn of a new year
Verse 1: The sky is burning, can't you see? A world on fire, we're breaking free The ground is shaking, time is slipping fast But we'll keep running, we’ll make it last We're racing through a dream tonight With broken hearts, we'll start to fight No way we're slowing down, we're on the edge Dancing through the chaos, we won't pledge Pre-Chorus: Take my hand, we’re flying high We're standing strong as worlds collide We won't stop, we won't fall The end of everything, we'll stand tall Chorus: This is the end of everything we know But we won’t break, we’ll let it go We’ll rise from the ashes, watch us grow The fire’s burning, feel the glow This is the end, but it's just the start We’ll fight to the finish, with all our hearts Verse 2: The storm is coming, feel the heat We're fearless now, we won’t retreat The world's collapsing, but we're not scared We’ve got the strength, we’ve always cared Through the darkness, we’re shining bright In the chaos, we’re taking flight The countdown’s ticking, but we’ve got time We’ll keep on running, we’ll be just fine Pre-Chorus: Take my hand, we’re flying high We’re standing strong as worlds collide We won’t stop, we won’t fall The end of everything, we’ll stand tall Chorus: This is the end of everything we know But we won’t break, we’ll let it go We’ll rise from the ashes, watch us grow The fire’s burning, feel the glow This is the end, but it's just the start We’ll fight to the finish, with all our hearts Bridge: No turning back, it’s do or die We're chasing dreams, we’ll touch the sky We’re the warriors of this fate Together we will conquer, we’ll create Chorus: This is the end of everything we know But we won’t break, we’ll let it go We’ll rise from the ashes, watch us grow The fire’s burning, feel the glow This is the end, but it's just the start We’ll fight to the finish, with all our hearts Outro: The end of everything… we’ll rise again In the ashes, we’ll begin The end of everything… we stand as one We’ll fight till the battle’s won

[Verse] City lights scream loud Snow falls like broken dreams Frozen streets cry out Holiday blues extreme [Verse 2] People rush no time to feel Lost in chaos no appeal Hollow laughs echo through Winter shadows melt the view [Chorus] Feel the sting of empty cheer Ice cold hearts and hazy fear Jingle bells the echoes fade In the wake of plans unmade [Verse 3] Houses shine with hollow glee Plastic joy no guarantee Winter's grip is cold and tight Silent nights that bleed to white [Bridge] Where’s the warmth where’s the soul Empty hands take their toll In the snow we've lost our way No real peace on this fray [Chorus] Feel the sting of empty cheer Ice cold hearts and hazy fear Jingle bells the echoes fade In the wake of plans unmade
[Verse] Concrete jungle hear the roar Pounding streets with heavy lore Sharp tongues clash like thunder cracks Iron hearts in wolfpack tracks [Verse 2] Rising up through grime and steel City's pulse our wounds can heal Fists of fire minds of rage Writing life on shattered page [Chorus] Stomping grounds where dreams collide Voice of power won't subside Shouting loudly through the night Bound by struggle burning bright [Verse 3] Echoed cries in midnight's call Breaking chains we rise we fall Strength in numbers voices loud Stripping dark clouds from the shroud [Verse 4] Shadowed alleys stories trace Warrior's heart no time to waste Grit and grime define the tale Victory in every fail [Chorus] Stomping grounds where dreams collide Voice of power won't subside Shouting loudly through the night Bound by struggle burning bright
[Verse] In the realm of shadows whisperin dark Heroes gather ready to embark Armor gleamin behold their spark Destiny calls they'll leave their mark [Verse 2] Mountains high and valleys deep Monsters awake from ancient sleep Swords are drawn no time to weep Brotherhood's vow a promise to keep [Chorus] Dragons and dreams oh we're takin flight Through the fire and into the night Magic within us a fierce delight This quest's our glory our guiding light [Verse 3] Caves of peril we venture through Maps of legends trails anew Mystic runes and skies so blue Every heartbeat feels so true [Bridge] With each strike and every spell Enemies tremble kingdoms swell Victory's scent we know it well Ringing out like silver bell [Chorus] Dragons and dreams oh we're takin flight Through the fire and into the night Magic within us a fierce delight This quest's our glory our guiding light
You tore through me like a violent storm Left no warning, left no sound I’m still piecing together the shards you left While you walk free, unbound I carry the weight you should have owned The secrets you’ll never tell You hide behind a wall of excuses While I’m trapped in your hell They said the truth was too hard to see But it’s carved in my memory You keep the life you never deserved While I’m left to live with the hurt You should be in prison, but you’ll never serve time They’ll call it a mistake, rewrite the crime You took the light and left me the dark And no one’s asking about the scars The law protects the ones like you While I’m left carrying what you won’t do You should be in prison, but you’ll never serve time And I’m done pretending that I’m fine Your shadow still lingers in the quiet A ghost I can’t escape I lock the doors, I hide the mirrors But nothing keeps you away You built your lies like a house of cards And they all play the game While I’m here screaming the silent truth You’re shielded from the blame They said, “Let it go, it’s in the past” But this pain has a grip that lasts I see your smile, so carefully placed But I know the monster behind your face You should be in prison, but you’ll never serve time They’ll call it a mistake, rewrite the crime You took the light and left me the dark And no one’s asking about the scars The law protects the ones like you While I’m left carrying what you won’t do You should be in prison, but you’ll never serve time And I’m done pretending that I’m fine They told me justice would make me whole But there’s no trial for a stolen soul You’ll keep your life like nothing’s wrong But the weight of the truth is where you belong I’ll never forget, I’ll never let go Your sins are written in what I know You should be in prison, but you’ll never serve time They’ll call it a mistake, rewrite the crime You took the light and left me the dark And no one’s asking about the scars The law protects the ones like you While I’m left carrying what you won’t do You should be in prison, but you’ll never serve time And I’m done pretending that I’m fine I’ll carry the truth; you can keep your lies But someday your mask will crack, and you’ll realize You should be in prison, but you’ll never serve time And I’ll keep fighting to reclaim what’s mine.
Cigarette ash on my guitar with a ring in my pocket and a broken heart Tired of wishing things worked out differently so tonight I'm turning up the whiskey I'm sorry I'm not a Rockstar driving in that fancy car Maybe one day you'll know you not in my heart is never so They say if you love them got to let them go But I'm holding on to this broken rope Like a drive by trucker on the open road With these open containers whistling skinnerd solos I say things I don't mean then I apologize, it's just testosterone and the look in your eyes The thought that I may never see that look again the thought you may say let's just be friends When I think of you I don't think of friends I think of long nights and legs that I don't want to end I Dream of your smile, those dimples, that grin that make my knees weak that make me want to sin They say if you love them got to let them go But I'm holding on to this broken rope Like a drive by trucker on this open road With these open containers whistling skynyrd solos Whistling whistling skynyrd solos Whistling whistling skynyrd solos If you love them Got to let them go I'm holding on I'm holding what, Wait, don't go
