lyrics

(Verse 1)
Who ever said
Hard times will find a way to bring you home
Has never been so desperate to face them alone
Bear the weight of the burden of my enemies
The family I had
No they didn’t want this
The family I found
They’re too good to deserve this
The family in reflections
Never get me anywhere

(Pre Chorus)
If you want to kill me quick
Then there aint no better time than this
If you want to kill me quick

If you want to kill me quick
Then I aint got no qualms with it
That is if you want to kill me quick

(Chorus)
Mother, Father, can you hear me now?
I’m sure you’re anything but proud
I’ve exhausted every exit out
And now the only thing that’s standing tall
Is my lurking shadow of a doubt

(Verse 2)
Who ever said
Growing old is a gift that is an honor to know
Doesn’t know of a life where you die when you’re told
Where the minutes lack the moments
That you thought you could control
The guidance I had
Never foretold this
The guidance I found
Always avoided the notion
I was being raised for slaughter
In a cage that they had made


(Pre Chorus 2)
You know I was just a kid
When I learned of what you did
You know I was just a kid…
But that kid grew to be a man
Who fully knows and understands
Of the coward that you are
And the coward that I am

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
I came here alone…

If you want to take a show
There aint no better time than this
And if you want to take a shot
You better pray that you don’t miss

Please leave me alone
Please leave me alone
I swear to god he’s relentless
Just leave me alone
He’ll burn down every bridge just to get to me

Just leave them alone
Just leave them alone
It’s me that you want
So just leave them alone
They don’t deserve the pain and the suffering

(Chorus 3)
Mother, Father, time is running out
It’s just a matter of patience now
And as I’m falling to the ground
I’ll crack a crooked smile so he’ll know
That he’ll never live it down

(Outro)
You should have killed me when
I was a younger man
You should have killed me then

I am the boy who lived coming to die, he said
I am the boy who lived, and who’ll live again
