No Promises

Just like a brother, I will guide you
I will open your eyes
And give you strength to show others the light
You should open your stride
Cause if they catch you, your life will end tonight
Covered in sheep's skin, but your teeth, you cannot hide
Welcome to the lion's den, where your fate's decided tonight
Forced into battle, this one is merely a lesson
I planned my exit, but you keep steppin'
Pulling strings from my past, don't think sanity will last
You've blown my cover, now this is over
I swear I could still hear their heart's beat
I pick them off one by one
Bloodshed put an end to this
Couldn't help it, I was meant for this
You own my thoughts, you crush my dreams
My lack of sleep time that you keep brings forth the challenge that I need
A puppeteer, but now I see the strings
Running the world from behind the scenes

It is not hard to see, that second chances will never come easily
There are no promises

You are here, so you will earn your keep
It all makes sense, now
I was a pawn, from the start
Taking action against, what originally, tore us apart
So as I gun it down the freeway
And my vision, begins to tunnel
I see the lights in my rearview
and my hands, begin to tremble
The fear sets me free

It is not hard to see, that second chances will never come easily
There are no promises
It's been so goddamn long
and you know that I've got no need for weak formalities

It is the end that we all fear the most
I may be broken, but I have recovered
I may have demons, but I have discovered
The good and that bad, it makes me who I am
and I wouldn't, change, a thing
This is me trying to sympathize
Now that the curtains are drawn
and I can see through your lies

It is not hard to see, that second chances will never come easily
There are no promises
It's been so goddamn long
and you know that I've got no need for weak formalities
It is the end, that we all fear, the most
