She walks to school with the lunch
She packed
Nobody knows what she's
Holdin' back
Wearin' the same dress
She wore yesterday
She hides the bruises with linen
And lace
The teacher wonders but she
Doesn't ask
It's hard to see the pain
Behind the mask
Bearing the burden
Of a secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was
Never born
Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In her world that she can rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where
She's loved
Concrete angel
Somebody cries in the middle
Of the night
The neighbors hear, but they turn
Out the lights
A fragile soul caught in the hands
Of fate
When morning comes
It'll be too late
Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In her world that she can rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where
She's loved
Concrete angel
A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel girl with an upturned face
A name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot
Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In her world that she can rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where
She's loved
Concrete angel
Should've stayed, were there signs, I ignored?
Can I help you, not to hurt, anymore?
We saw brilliance, when the world, was asleep
There are things that we can have, but can't keep
If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
The reminders pull the floor from your feet
In the kitchen, one more chair than you need oh
And you're angry, and you should be, it's not fair
Just 'cause you can't see it, doesn't mean it, isn't there
If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
I don't like my mind right now Stacking up problems that are so unnecessary Wish that I could slow things down I wanna let go but there's comfort in the panic And I drive myself crazy Thinking everything's about me Yeah, I drive myself crazy 'Cause I can't escape the gravity
I'm holding on Why is everything so heavy? Holding on So much more than I can carry I keep dragging around what's bringing me down If I just let go, I'd be set free Holding on Why is everything so heavy?
You say that I'm paranoid But I'm pretty sure the world is out to get me It's not like I make the choice To let my mind stay so fucking messy I know I'm not the center of the universe But you keep spinning 'round me just the same I know I'm not the center of the universe But you keep spinning 'round me just the same
I'm holding on Why is everything so heavy? Holding on So much more than I can carry I keep dragging around what's bringing me down If I just let go, I'd be set free Holding on Why is everything so heavy?
I know I'm not the center of the universe But you keep spinning 'round me just the same I know I'm not the center of the universe But you keep spinning 'round me just the same And I drive myself crazy Thinking everything's about me
Holding on Why is everything so heavy? Holding on So much more than I can carry I keep dragging around what's bringing me down If I just let go, I'd be set free Holding on Why is everything so heavy? Why is everything so heavy? Why is everything so heavy?
The sunlight shining on her now She couldn't stay here She knows you won't let her down
You know she couldn't stay here with you You know she had to go Even though she couldn't stay here with you You know you're not alone.
No matter what you think you did wrong (Won't be long till everybody knows) She knew she had to go all along
No matter what you think you did wrong (Won't be long till everybody knows) She knew she had to go all along
I've seen her shining The sunlight's crying for her now
She wouldn't stay here She knows you won't let her down
You know she couldn't stay here with you
You know she had to go Even though she couldn't stay here with you You know you're not alone

I can't seem to drown you out long enough I fell victim to the sound of your love You're like a song that I ain't ready to stop I got nothing but you on my mind
I'm not ready to be just another of your mistakes Don't wanna let the pieces fall out of place I was only just a breath removed from going to waste 'Til I found salvation in the form of your
Your grace Your grace Your grace Don't take it away Your grace Your grace Your grace Don't take it away
On the verge of almost bleeding you out Are we too wounded now to ever come down? Oh, how I long for us to find common ground I got nothing but you on my mind
I'm not ready to be just another of your mistakes Don't wanna let the pieces fall out of place I was only just a breath removed from going to waste 'Til I found salvation in the form of your
Your grace Your grace Your grace Don't take it away Your grace Your grace Your grace Don't take it, take it
Way too close to colour your comfort All dressed up but kept undercover Way too close to colour your comfort All dressed up but kept undercover
Your grace Your grace Your grace Don't take it away
I'm not ready to be just another of your mistakes Don't wanna let the pieces fall out of place I was only just a breath removed from going to waste 'Til I found salvation in the form of your
Your grace (your grace) Your grace (your grace) Your grace (your grace) Don't take it away Your grace (your grace) Your grace (your grace) Your grace (your grace) Don't take it away
I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to save me This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy I need somebody to heal Somebody to know Somebody to have Somebody to hold It's easy to say But it's never the same I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain
Now the day bleeds Into nightfall And you're not here To get me through it all I let my guard down And then you pulled the rug I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to turn to This all or nothing way of loving got me sleeping without you Now, I need somebody to know Somebody to heal Somebody to have Just to know how it feels It's easy to say but it's never the same I guess I kinda liked the way you helped me escape
Now the day bleeds Into nightfall And you're not here To get me through it all I let my guard down And then you pulled the rug I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
And I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes I fall into your arms I'll be safe in your sound 'til I come back around
For now the day bleeds Into nightfall And you're not here To get me through it all I let my guard down And then you pulled the rug I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
But now the day bleeds Into nightfall And you're not here To get me through it all I let my guard down And then you pulled the rug I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
I let my guard down And then you pulled the rug I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
All I wanted was a smile, all I wanted was a kiss
All I wanted was to know that I'm the one that you would miss
I'm the one living in bliss, cause my ignorance is shared
With the rest of you, but I don't really think that it was fair
For you to keep me like a puppet on a string
At your fingertips, dangling, with something new to sing
I wanna love her, but it's better if I don't
Take a listen to the letter that she wrote and it goes:
Hi, I know it's been a long time now
And part of you is itching
To talk to me just to find out
How I'm doing, who I'm seeing
Who I'm fucking, but it's none of your concern
Because seemingly you're something of a bug
But just to save a little face
Here's some generosity
From me to you so pick a place
In my life, but never in my heart
Cause I love it when you're broken
In the setting of the dark
Spit it out, and tell me why you wanna see me
I've been distant for a reason
Cause I'm trying to make it easier for you...
Yeah, I've been seeing someone new
That is better and more clever than you ever could assume
It's reality, so pick your battles cause you lost
It's a complex story with a chapter that'll cost you a lot
The plot has been thickening since the start
Let it go, walk alone, and quit picking this apart
See, all I wanted was a life with you
I never knew...
You were so cruel... I'm sorry
I hope you're happy with the choice you've made
I was afraid... to let you fade... I'm sorry
What up? I know you didn't wanna hear from me
But this is merely a reply from me to you
It's appearing to be worthless
Take a purpose and a keepsake
You can have your shit back
Forever we will breed hate
Fuck opinion, it's a matter of fact
So matter of fact, you'd better pick a happier path
Get off mine, and in due time you might see
That no one's ever gonna be loving you better, right?
It's ripe for the picking, I'm picking it apart
But you're swimming in a sea of emotion and I'm a shark
I'm finna bite back, you think you really know me
But it's colder on this level of loneliness
Don't console me with your patronage
I never needed you to pity me
So don't believe for a second that I'm in that vicinity
They say the remedy's to never hold a grudge
But I'm stuck in my position yo, and never will I budge
See, all I wanted was a life with you
I never knew...
You were so cruel... I'm sorry
I hope you're happy with the choice you've made
I was afraid... to let you fade... I'm sorry
Love me, hate me, fuck me, break me
Judge me, take me as I am faithfully
Have me, lose me, smack me, soothe me
I'll happily consume every last bit of cruelty
Love me, hate me, fuck me, break me
Judge me, take me as I am faithfully
Have me, lose me, smack me, soothe me
I'll happily consume every last bit of cruelty
See, all I wanted was a life with you
I never knew...
You were so cruel... I'm sorry
I hope you're happy with the choice you've made
I was afraid... to let you fade... I'm sorry
Could you whisper in my ear The things you wanna feel I'd give you anythin' To feel it comin'
Do you wake up on your own And wonder where you are? You live with all your faults
I wanna wake up where you are I won't say anything at all So why don't you slide
Yeah, I'm gonna let it slide
Don't you love the life you killed? The priest is on the phone Your father hit the wall Your ma disowned you
Don't supposed I'll ever know What it means to be a man It's somethin' I can't change I'll live around it
I wanna wake up where you are I won't say anything at all So why don't you slide Ooh, slide
And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete Little pieces of the nothin' that fall Oh, May Put your arms around me What you feel is what you are And what you are is beautiful Oh, May Do you wanna get married Or run away?
And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete Little pieces of the nothin' that fall Oh, May Put your arms around me What you feel is what you are And what you are is beautiful Oh, May Do you wanna get married Or run away?
I wanna wake up where you are I won't say anything

It's a beautiful day, I heard everybody say The sun shines down for all of us Just the same, you know I like the rain That ain't so obvious
It's a beautiful sight, I guess everybody's right This day belongs to all of us Even still, I like mine with a chill That ain't so obvious
We are the normal We live and we die With no reason why We are the normal We live and we die With no reason why
It's a beautiful life, and I've got it in my sights And that ain't for all of us It's a beautiful sound When my life comes crashin' down That ain't so obvious It's a beautiful sin, and I'm doin' it again And that ain't for all of us It's a beautiful life, and I've got it in my sights Ain't that so obvious?
We are the normal We live and we die With no reason why We are the normal We live and we die With no reason why
We are the normal We live and we die With no reason why We are the normal We live and we die With no reason why
We are the normal We live and we die With no reason why We are the normal We live and we die With no reason why
Well I'm not a vampire But I feel like one Sometimes I sleep all day Because I hate the sunlight My hands are always shaking Body's always aching And the dark is when I feed
Well I can lure any woman that I want to in my bed With me And whiskey seems to be my holy water Mothers better lock your doors And hide your daughters
I'm insane Well, I can feel it in my bones Coursing through my veins When did I become so cold? For goodness sake Where is my self control? If home is where my heart is Then my heart has lost all hope
Well I'm not a zombie But I feel like one today Self induced comatose, chemical daze
My head is always spinning From this dizzy, blurry vision And my stomach has had enough I feel like a lady That is pregnant with a baby 'Cause I'm always throwing up
Hi, My name is Ronnie I'm an addict (Hi, Ronnie!) Daddy should've never raised me on Black Sabbath!
I'm insane Well, I can feel it in my bones Coursing through my veins When did I become so cold? For goodness sake Where is my self control? If home is where my heart is Then my heart has lost all hope
God bless all of you now 'Cause I'm going straight to Hell And I'm taking you down with me 'Cause you know damn well
I'm insane Well, I can feel it in my bones Coursing through my veins When did I become so cold?
I'm insane Well, I can feel it in my bones Coursing through my veins When did I become so cold? For goodness sake Where is my self control? If home is where my heart is Then my heart has lost all hope All hope All hope
Do I know you? Yes, you do This seems so familiar You're in a dream Who are you? I am your reflection, you've been asleep for a very long time
I lay awake every night, looking back on my life Will apologies to the people I love for the things I've done really make it right? I guess it might, just then I realized My past is the reason I'm here right now As a matter of fact, I won't apologize You bitches always pissed 'cause I am constantly changing Think of how far that I've made it from my incarceration It's amazing, ain't it? But I'm in the zone I'm a rolling stone, I'm coming home, but I'm not alone Do I really gotta let another motherfucker know?
No, I won't surrender, surrender No, I won't let you bring me down
So, where the hell do I go from here? Who do I believe, who do I believe when everyone feels so insincere? Like everyone's out to get me Who will save my life? How do I believe, how do I believe in anyone? Please, don't mind me I just kill myself sometimes
Uh, daddy? Yes, honey? Why did you go to jail? Uh
I'm a lot smarter than you think, everything I did was planned To get you to listen, to get your attention You post an opinion and it gets me bigger Are you triggered? Hah, figures Here's the kicker, with every trigger I'm getting richer from offended, bitter, little Twitt*r bitches all up in my mentions Looking for attention 'cause they're starved of it You wanna call me king of the music scene? I got news for you, I'm the god of it Like the second coming I respawn like I have a reset button, hated more than Trump is Ronnie Radke's back to rapping, acting ratchet Release the Kraken, delete your asses I'm not the rapture I'm the motherfucking morning after
No, I won't surrender, surrender No, I won't let you bring me down
So, where the hell do I go from here? Who do I believe, who do I believe when everyone feels so insincere? Like everyone's out to get me Who will save my life? How do I believe, how do I believe in anyone? Please, don't mind me I just kill myself sometimes
I need a miracle! I'm falling way too fast, I'm sinking in too deep! I need an angel now, that's watching over me! If I could just wake up, if I could make you see! I'm all alone, all alone with your sickness in me!
Dad, dad, dad, wake up Ah, oh, fuck, what the-? You were having a bad dream Where am I? Turn the fucking music off, who the fuck are you? I'm your daughter Oh, no, no, you're too old to be my daughter, what year is it? It's 2033, dad Oh, no, no, no, it's not, no, no, no, no You've been asleep for a very long time
So, where the fuck do I go from here? Who do I believe, who do I believe when everyone feels so insincere? Like everyone's out to get me Who will save my life? How do I believe, how do I believe in anyone? Please, don't mind me 'cause I'm really trying I just kill myself sometimes
I'm falling way too fast, I'm sinking in too deep! I need an angel now, that's watching over me! If I could just wake up, if I could make you see! I'm all alone, all alone with your sickness in me!
Who will save my life? How do I believe, how do I believe in anyone? Please, don't mind me I just kill myself sometimes
I walk a fine line between coping and insanity The white pills right now would be the wrong time I have a hard time between flying and sobriety The wrong thrill, strong will to keep myself alive Watch this rip apart my family Fuck that, I'd rather die with honor But when the tide is running through me, I can feel no pain It's not worth the price I pay
It's so hard to be together And I try, and I try But it won't get better Forever Days go, days go by I won't die, I won't die cause I must, I must try Forever
I missed a phone call from a friend I knew the other day It's strange, it changed my life forever A couple days go by, I found out that he passed away The right drug, the wrong time, he'll be remembered There's two wolves battling us all right now One's good, the other one's evil If you're wondering which wolf inside will succeed Simple, it's the one that you feed
It's so hard to be together And I try, and I try But it won't get better Forever Days go, days go by I won't die, I won't die cause I must, I must try Forever
It's so hard to be together And it won't get better Days go, days go by But I must, I must try Forever
It's so hard to be together And I try, and I try But it won't get better Forever Days go, days go by I won't die, I won't die cause I must, I must try Forever
Kill yourself is what they said to me I'm already dead, just differently They say God is real, I disagree 'Cause if that were true, then we'd all be free, all be free, yeah, yeah
Running from something that's killing me, dealing with such an uncomfortable feeling Beginning to feel the hostility from my ability of slowly becoming the villain I just wanna thank all my fans especially, without you is the death of me I don't consider myself a celebrity, but I'll be doing this shit till I'm 70 This is my destiny, this is the best of me, it's an incredible feeling to grow Letting it go, I'm letting you know, we're killing ourselves on the low
Everybody wants some, everybody gets none from me
'Cause everybody's on drugs It's hard to believe, the American dream is a killing machine We're all falling in love with a new disease If it's killing you, then it's murdering me It's all getting so unbelievable We're having so much fun, staring down a loaded gun And you don't see that it's killing you 'Cause everybody's on drugs
Save yourself is what I'm telling you 'Cause nobody else really has a clue Into your veins, vein, like heroin Accept the pain, pain just to feel again, feel again
Everybody wants some, everybody gets none from me
'Cause everybody's on drugs It's hard to believe, the American dream is a killing machine We're all falling in love with a new disease If it's killing you, then it's murdering me It's all getting so unbelievable We're having so much fun, staring down a loaded gun And you don't see that it's killing you
Everybody is dead from the neck up Trying to keep their heads up, searching for a way out This is a dying nation, so complacent Spirits need awakened, what are we waiting for? Fuck Die Just die, motherfucker, die, motherfucker, die
'Cause everybody's on drugs The American dream is a killing machine Everybody's on drugs If it's killing you It's so fucking unbelievable We're having so much fun, staring down a loaded gun And you don't see that it's killing you 'Cause everybody's on drugs
