used to be the king
But then I lost my throne when my voice cracked
You better believe that I’m comin’
Back
Was I even worth a damn?
I feel like you were just waiting for me to crack
I’ll find a new place to call my home
Where they appreciate me and where I feel I belong
I say, surprised you came this far
It’s not that you want my presence
It’s that now I’m a star
Waiting for you to feel guilt
For what you said when I was away
You better believe, oh, you better believe that I’m comin’ back today
The sun may rise if I’m not there
But there will be no light
You’ll be screaming my name
By the end of the night

She don’t want what I got, that I understand
But I pray to God that you ain’t gonna be her man
She deserves someone better than what you got
‘Cause you always be pretendin’ that you’re someone that you’re not
Someone handsome
More refined
Someone more alive
I resend my invitation to you and to all your friends
Don’t get how all y’all still be walkin’ ‘round when you’re all dead inside
Heard she’s comin’ over, must be hypnotized
I’d kindly put a bullet through your head before I let her die
I found out where your house is on the internet
Now I’m driving across town
I’m comin’ to the doorstep, I’m comin’ up the stairs, I creep into your bedroom
But it’s empty, she’s not there!
Bloodsucker, leave her be
She ain’t got what you need and you sure as Hell can’t say that she needs you
All the trouble that she’s seen has followed in your wake
And it’s your fault the nights are hard to get through
I feel a cold hand on my shoulder
I feel the fangs sinking in
I feel a darkness taking over
A primal instinct from within
I feel the need
The need to feed

Come on baby, let's go for one last ride
I hear the sirens in the background and I'm running out of time
You're bleeding out in the backseat
And it really is a shame
It will be easier once I forget your name
When they ask me why I was late
I just won't tell 'em 'bout the body in the lake
There’s something different, this time I didn't run away
It will be easier once I forget your name
Then when I smile I won't even have to lie, oh
There's something different this time, but I can't place it
I can't help feeling every day goes by a little slower
At this rate I am afraid that one day time will stop dead in its tracks
And just the husk of something powerful will be all that is left
A useless life that only lives to keep all else from getting past

I always wanted to be
Who y’all aspired to be
Someone they tell stories of for all of history
I need to find myself a monster, find myself a beast
Someone to take their eyes off of the monster in me
I’ve killed mercilessly
Four man murder spree
Half beast, half man
No doubt I’m damned
You lost me in this labyrinth in hopes I’ll never leave
You think you got me, I got something hidden up my sleeve
I got someone on the outside lookin' out for me
You've been deceived
You’re keeping secrets, I can tell by the look on your face
(I can’t trust you anymore)
I can hear you yelling over the walls
We've got a traitor in our midst
When the time comes
I forget to put a smile on my face
You can see me from a mile off
By the time I get back you’re going, going, gone

When this all started you couldn’t help but laugh
At all the effort I put in and all the time that passed
While you were living it up in your house of straw
I was making something lasting, I was making something strong
And then the wolf he came, knockin’ at your door
You couldn’t stand the pressure and your house of straw was no more
Brick upon brick, mortar and stone
Is what holds this house together, but I live here alone
It may be lonely, but I feel safe
A foot of stone keeps my troubles away
And then the wolf he came, knockin’ at your door
You couldn’t stand the pressure and your house of sticks was no more
Guess that’s the price you pay when you’re livin’ just for today
I think it’s time that you took some responsibility
Helpless you came, knockin’ at my door
I couldn’t stand the pressure, I can’t bail you out no more
And then the wolf he came, knockin’ at your door
You couldn’t stand the pressure and you had no house no more
Guess that’s the price you pay when you’re livin’ just for today
I think it’s time that you took some responsibility
Then the wolf he came, knockin’ at my door
These bricks can stand the pressure, I blew his head off with my .44
