It didn't happen how i wanted it 
Not even close, i'm being honest 
I didn't want to write this song 
I didn't want to have to make that promise 
But some things in life just ask 
While other ones demand your help 
Cause some people have all the problems, while others have all the wealth 
Which often times don't seem to satisfy when taking all you want 
Some say that's just life, it's a normal part of growing up 
But some don't grow up and never will 
Won't own enough 
A mil, don't adorn a throne enough 
There'll be reaping in the killing fields when the kids don't sow enough 
And yet it's all designed to keep you down, to count you out 
Yet keep you around 
Cause even a king ain't shit when there ain't no one else there to adore your crown 
And prison cells can grow up around you 
And before you know it, you're doing time 
But it literal, just a metaphor 
A concept used to control your mind
In time, Bibles become weapons 
And crosses used to crucify 
And so called evangelists will turn militant and take the lives of both you and i 
Cause we're all soldiers with different wars to wage and different scores to settle 
Some fight to save lives while others fight to win medals 

Until the very end 
Or death or something we confess 
They take our breath away 
Subtley til nothings left 
We're catching bullets in our heads 
And though our tunng's as thick as bricks 
We lick the wounds yet lack the words to make emotions stick 

I'm no king 
Stuck inside a beautiful mind where the events of my life are bad dreams 
And it really seems 
I didn't, change a thing 
Or benefitted a cause i claimed meant everything 
I'm no hero 
Those don't exist 
One only needs to look around to be convinced of this 
I'm no villain 
I was only too scared to take 
A first step 
Forewarned, still unprepared to make change 
That was always destined to come 
It's our fault we didn't specified the kind that we want 
I'm not God 
I can only speak for me 
My life happened and i handled it quite sheepishly 
It's kinda sad thinking back to the slight in which we'd thought 
That life was a permanent fight that'd never stop 
On second thought 
We followed men who only sought 
War and when the world spoke out 
We only got 
More got alot more got a lot more 
And after while we forgot what we fought for 
Made peace, but always had the wrong reasons and angles 
Smart bombed busy streets star spangled 
Entangled our alliances 
Appliance is the new god 
Truth is relative depends where you get your noose (news) from 
Cause when facing your own end 
It helps to think you meant something to someone 
Please, tell me that i meant something to someone 
And i'll continue to sustain 
Guilt 
It's heavy on the forefront of my brain 
I've felt 
This way for too long 
How you supposed to fight back with the tide's so strong 
Guess you're not 
Fast-track back to apathy 
A long road 
Wonder if 
When i am gone will i be missed 
Tthis looks like it's the end of me 
Last words: thank you, i love you, i'm sorry 

I've been dreaming of my past 
I get asked now and then what i love 
LIFE 
Yet the rest of it is tough 
Just because a few thought that life was too pretty 
Now we gots have war for them bored to keep living
Just like that some we were taught to hide feelings 
Tying yellow ribbons 
We wanted you to stop killing 
But "stop killing" ain't found on ballot - slips 
So a lot of not living's what we were bound to get 
The sound of it was the same of marching out of sync 
The battle drum was nearing and it made my spirit weak 
It's a clear defeat when we're too full of fear to speak 
The shepherds act sheepish and the rest are all asleep 
Boys don't cry 
And girls don't turn activists 
Leaders don't lie or make problems that we have to fix 
No 
When lies turn to truth, what will happen? 
And who do we become when instincts turn reaction? 
We reaped what we sowed so we knew what came next 
Some chose to give up 
I guess they had no choice left 
Time's up 
Now tell me what we gonna do? 
It's been too long now with no one left to look up to 
Invention meets consequence 
Not what we intended 
Aguilty conscience when it's revealed what we defended 
My time has ended 
But still i promise you my friend 
That comes what may i'm here until the very end
