Fame › Demise

[Intro: Michael Bohn]
The devil and god are knocking at my door
I thought I had your word
That a father dies before his son
Now the reaper and his men are marching your way
Straight to hell

[Verse: Tyler Carter & Michael Bohn]
All that you taught me to be
Was a moper, a dreamer that only refused to dream
Oh, save it please
My voice is peaking through your speakers
And I'm speaking just to show you the way
How could you (How could you)
Shelter me out? I'm much older now
You're a chemical fiend
You shatter like a beaker when I only want to show you the way
The architect, the creator
I'll build my way out of your demise
These dreams are my castles
Not the walls you built up around me

[Bridge: Tyler Carter]
Oh, when I look at my watch and I know
Time is gold
It can't be pawned and it can't be sold
Now you're running out of time
Better relapse and rewind
Crucify your addiction, so you can cross this line
Oh, nothing can save you
From the fate that awaits you, no, no

[Verse 2: Michael Bohn]
Disregard the signals
Disregard the smoke
Father don't believe them
Just let them fucking choke

[Breakdown: Michael Bohn]
Now we lay you down to sleep
I pray his hands, your soul to reap
And if I die before you wake
Then I've lost a bet, and for fucks sake
When all your cards are on the table
Pray the floor is still and stable and dance your life away

[Chorus: Tyler Carter & Michael Bohn; both]
Your true colors are starting to get loud
(So loud that it hurts my ears)
Have fun praying to your gray God now
Yeah, this war don't determine who's right
This war just determines who's left standing tonight
Stop handing me lights
I can see what you are in the dark just fine, I'm not blind
I'm bending the blinds
Peaking through to get a glimpse of your anguishing life
You're hiding like a vampire, here comes the strife
This won't hurt me cause I get a thrill from the bite

[Outro: Michael Bohn]
So place your bets
Place your bets
'Cause through my eyes
You'll reap what you sow
