Reign

[Verse 1]
When I was young, just under 21
Tore my town apart by emptying my loaded gun
Into the atmosphere, catching bodies along the way
Now the Lord can't help me and there ain't no god to save
A wretch like me, a wretch like me, a wretch like me

[Verse 2]
My family is upset but I'm still their baby boy
Who's never gone nowhere alone, but now he ain't got no choice
I'm goin' down, I'm going down
Goin' down, down, down, goin' down
Oh, but I don't wanna go to hell, no, I don't wanna go to hell
If the devil is a bully, then I guess I might as well still be alive

[Verse 3]
And at the football games, everyone will know my name
Won't matter if they're local, or they're in from out of state
Innocent boy turned dangerous who went to the mall that day
He grew up in the foothills, went to that mall to slay

[Verse 4]
And like a bad dream, that feels so real
That it can't be, but it is still
And like a nightmare taken out of sleep
It hits you in the morning like a newspaper at your feet
My name will reign, my name will reign, my name will reign

[Verse 5]
Cryin' on my mama's shoulders, holdin' my daddy's hand
Look into my sister's eyes, I know it's hard to understand
What I did won't be forgiven, and what I did is neverending
Look up at the school and tell me, what do you see?
There's something wrong with all of them, there's nothing wrong with me
My name will reign, name will reign, my name will reign

[Bridge]
My name will reign, reign
My name will reign
My name will reign, reign
My name will reign
My name will reign, reign
My name will reign
My name will reign, reign
My name will reign

[Outro]
When I was young, just under 21
Tore my town apart by emptying my loaded gun
Into the atmosphere, catching bodies along the way
Now the Lord can't help me and there ain't no god to save a wretch like me
