Fortune 04:37
I can't recall the first time I dropped the ball, and tomorrow I'll forget this one too (IN TIME) No matter how hard I’ve tryed it was always pointless. looking back I understand things were never that important If you've been pushing yourself down, like you did last month and the month before It might not be the last time IT MIGHT NOT BE THE LAST TIME! When you’re already conceding defeat how can you expect to succeed? It might not be the last time. IT MIGHT NOT BE THE LAST TIME! I know how hard it is to feel like a loser, to look in the mirror and see less than you are To think "What have I done? YEAH! I fucked it up’’, but I got back up, and in time so will you Chin up, it will hurt much less tomorrow we all fuck things up sometimes, Stop wallowing in self-pity. brush the dirt off, get up and try again. If you've been pushing yourself down, like you did last month and the month before It might not be the last time. IT MIGHT NOT BE THE LAST TIME! When you’re already conceding defeat how can you expect to succeed? It might not be the last time IT MIGHT NOT BE THE LAST TIME! Press pause, breathe in, fill your chest with hopes and dreams let your feet break down from the ground Of all thoughts, the one you need to keep in your mind it’s that fortune that favors the bold.

I’m not dead buried six feet under neither alive when I’m high I’m stuck in the middle And every once in a while a lightening strikes and all seems to fall apart Give me an impression that I’m part of an act that’s not why I’m here You told me the problem and still expect me to play the role You stress me out and use my rage back at me You fake it as yours as contagious as it is It’s not your fault I’m damaged and hopeless And every time you make me stumble, I’ll trip and fall but Iknow I’ll rise again RISE AGAIN, And all the times I search for answers I’ll make a trip to hell and back again, BACK AGAIN I’m not young Neither i’m old I’m just stuck in the middle with no place left to go No place to call home no backyard no law trying to relax while my blood is burning, when I’m nothing but numb I blame you, and I blame you, It’s easier this way avoid the guilt, put it on them on the sun and the rain, on fate, ‘cause you can relate IT’S EASIER, this way avoid the guilt, PUT IT ON THEM, on the sun and the rain, on fate, ‘cause you can relate It would be a lot easier, And the problems would disappear, If we learned to talk to each other, It’s the worst/better thing ever, To gain knowledge about yourself, And every time you make me stumble, I’ll trip and fall but Iknow I’ll rise again RISE AGAIN, And al the times I search for answers I’ll make a trip to hell and back again. stuck in the middle, stuck in the middle, STUCK IN THE MIDDLE, I’m stuck in the middle.

Call Call out your demons Everywhere you go they're still arround Call Call out your demons in every silence you can ear them sound False edges, short steps Overwhelming feelings are blowing in my chest Desire or will I have it above all the rest Throwing knifes, cutting flesh Delusional thoughts overcome the will to survive boldly and intense, this is how I live my life THIS IS HOW I LIVE MY LIFE HEY, HEY the devil I see the demon I am HEY, HEY I've created it my self. Despite all that Every day is a learning step always managed to get it trough So this is where I stop and think the devil I see, the demon I am, I've created it my self Walking hand by hand, with a serpent around my neck, a plague that acompanies me, to the darkest ends, HEY, HEY the devil I see, he demon I am HEY, HEY I've created it my self.

Ricochet 03:16
I will be like a heavy stone I will be here to support you . like the eagles lifting their sons from the ground. I will be human, fragile, flesh and bone And I will be the wind when your ship sets sail. Naked and raw, kicking and screaming. Afraid, we are thrown into this world You may feel that you are from another rock sometimes, But you’ll never be alone. Never be alone 2x The way I see the world The way I see those words and thoughts THE HEART, THE WAY That I once learned ARE YOU Standing for what you believe even if you’re standing alone? I AM STRONG AND RIGHT he/she will try to buy away your hopes and dreams, but Even if it shines bright, be careful with what they have to give, all roses have their thorns It’s never enough to be strong, you might get tricked, by those who walk beside you. be smart and sharp, It is ok to be afraid, GO FORWARD BRAVE and lead with your heart. The way I see the world The way see those words and thoughts THE HEART, THE WAY, That I once learned ARE YOU, Standing for what you believe even if you’re standing alone? I AM STRONG AND RIGHT I AM STRONG AND RIGHT.

What day is this, is today the end? People are crazy now we know who's gonna be the first on to throw the stone? We function in circles death to us all OH faceless help us, make us focus on our path AMEN, FUCKING BULLSHIT It is us against the world x2 Short breaths, gasp faster, it's almost tuesday to start it over like caged animals, ginnea pigs stacked into lots we are but numbers, this shit is about to burst It is waiting in on us, it is waiting in on us!! Hell is expecting you, the fork’s sitting in the fry this is your last shot to save your skin and save your life Cuz in the minute you step foot on the wrong place the sky starts falling in 5x but with the strenght and will to survive WILL TO SURVIVE I swim with sharks anyday, i bite their ass's FACE TO FACE Cause fliting the scene is not my type I like to mend my wrongs to rights Feeling good about my self is all i need Hell is expecting you, the fork’s sitting in the fry.

these days everybody looks the same, we’re sheeps in the same herd some good some bad yes, it’s true, we are, in part, to blame, but no matter what we do, we all have minds of our own. how did we get so tame ? I just don’t understand how. It is so safe to unchange, to invest on the prison that is your ‘’confort-zone’’ they make the rules and you obey, It’s what they do - they sell control . you don’t question the things that you are told and still you criticize. You go with the flow, like a log in the rapids, you can’t resist them, when you have no conviction. it’s not the game I wanna play, I have changed and they felt betrayed Only my heart will ever know, I’m not willing to give it all away, cuz, i’m not part of the well-behaved I love when all is drown in chaos. waiting for an heaven, what a boring story contest and fight, it’s death or glory.
