The Devils Time Bomb

grew up knowing nothing about dying
grew up knowing nothing about crying
grew up knowing nothing about the past
grew up not knowing if i were gonna last
grew up with two mouths to feed
grew up with two hearts to bleed
grew up knowing nothing about what is real
grew up knowing nothing about what i feel
grew up not knowing where i will start
grew up not knowing what i had in my heart
grew up with a million eyes watching me
grew up with a million lies slopping me
grew up knowing that the end is around the corner
grew up knowing that id be the one that would have to warm her
grew up knowing nothing about life
grew up knowing nothing about whats right
grew up not knowing where i stood
grew up not knowing if i really understood
grew up with a gun to the back of my head
grew up with a gun just waiting to be led

idiot, why you gotta be so selfish
our world is clogged because ppl are so jealous
and once we begin to mesh
we all crumble to nothing and become whats left
and what that is, is such a disaster
its like a big hand smashing a cracker
to the ground the pieces fall
irreplaceable, and we lose it all
why i even fight back i dont understand
i guess it makes me look more like a man
but what is a man to this world if hes just gonna die
if ur not a hero then being a man isnt worth your life
only if everybody knew what i felt
we all got different views on being in hell
but if we all dont think the same
then in hell's stone is engraved our name
laughing and laughing satan spreads his wings
the fallen angel who could tempt anything
he smirks and stares into the eyes and sees our problems
he decieves us by making us believe that he disolved them
i will crack the wip one more time
send these words through my thoughtless mind
take one last breath of fresh air
and then go down and prepare for the stare
slow is the pace, wisely we rip
only if we werent all idiots

grew up knowing nothing about what i felt
grew up knowing nothing about hell
but soon and sadly am i awaken
b4 i can react my soul is taken
broken hearts are raining from the sky
along with the tears that the angels cry
mourning over one more life that they couldnt save
watching it go down to its fiery grave
no trees for shelter, shelter you from the storm
stuck in the rose bush, not seeing the thorns
pricking you silently you begin to bleed
making you week and then u fall to your knees
asking for another chance and another life to live
you get stuck in a trance as you try to remember all u give
nothing in the end
it all ends up in the end
the devil shows no mercy even to those who did not know
they could have found out if only they woulda shown
let the light shine through them instead of reflecting a shadow
this is one more lost soul to the gallows
