My Reward

Pardon me,
I could hang from the canopy
Do what I got to—I’m not a fan of making ghosts,
But it’s not up for debate—hand’s free
When it saw what laid in front of me,
It thought I should procure more than the rest of you
-Leaked out black for so long,
And now I’m face to face with the option
Still you praise me, acting like I’m a hero
Nah, keep that to yourself…
‘Cause I don’t show my slinking side
Unless there’s no one else around
Like I said, I hate making ghosts,
But we’ve been shown a gracious prize,
So now we seemed to point in that direction

I could hear my heart dribbling thunder
There goes my secret
As my greed shows itself,
You’re all tumbling under six feet of dirt
That’s a real reward

Now it's so easy to be the bad guy on this mission
See we’s about to bust a couple skulls
And make a run for the home-plate
Vicious, I know…
But all those hardships that I had endured
Persuaded me to think that I might have earned my fortune
Today’s the day that you see me fly
You called me wicked ‘cause you’re so grounded
What makes the difference is that I have what it takes to be me
I survived while you quivered in the corner and cried
What are your last words?
We’ll let you have them

I could hear my heart dribbling thunder
There goes my secret
As my greed shows itself,
You’re all tumbling under six feet of dirt
That’s a real reward

Are you feeling it?
That’s called agony
And it only gets worse for you—wait and see
No more time or space
In this holy place,
There exists only one true god,
And it’s me.
Again and again, I will blacken the sun
Dump barrels blood in the sea
‘Cause that’s all that’ll be left
Laugh as your spirit’s removed from the skeleton,
Smashed into bits with the back of my shovel
-Bullets seal your fate
Etch this in your brain;
Did you bury the treasure or dig your own grave?

Side by side, you all knelt down
You know, I guess life’s finite after all…
-A perfect line from A to Z
When it’s time to meet you maker,
Don’t be a coward
Take it like a man, and face me!
Here’s to the journey!
It’s been a wild ride
I understand if you hate me,
But just say thank you for the moments
And thank you for the dreams
Thanks for the adventure,
Thanks for the time spent
You don’t bounce back after this
No, this is the pinnacle
Don’t be so cynical
We all can’t be winners
O’ I don’t wanna’ hear you plea!
Just say thank you for the freedom!
I’ll take the pain away for good
Don’t you go thinking that there’s a better place
Nobody bounces back from this
No, there is no afterlife
-Just nothing forever
So don’t you lie, and don’t pretend
Wipe your tears so you can see the end

I’m not scared of karma
If such a thing exists,
Then I should have been silenced the day I left your shore
Life’s just chain reactions
Line up your troubles and blast them aside
No one will find them
No one could watch them die
