One of a Kind
04:52

I know that I am one of a kind
And if you don't like it that's fine
Just sit back and observe how I go about my everyday life
I know that some will hate me, but in the end that just makes me
Push myself even harder so you an watch me go farther
Because it's like this
I'm sick of all these fake ass fucks who run their mouths like they know so much
Talk is cheap when you can't pay the price and you act like you know about sacrifice
I wish you could spend one day in my head then perhaps you'd get a better understanding of the person
That I am
Simple people cast their judgement when they're clueless on the subject
Allow me to educate you on the fact that I'm one of a kind
Am I the only one
Who follows his own path
Am I the only one
Who doesn't live by a fad
Am I the only one
Because it's starting to feel like it
Am I the only one
Because honestly I'm getting pissed
Back to the topic at hand
Individualism isn't dead
Just the perception in your head
Be yourself let it out
Show this world what you're about
That's why I am right back on track and nobody here can stop that
Mind over matter then you'll prosper
Focus and you will conquer
Don't let anyone hold you back or stand in your way
Fight for what you want, fight for your glory days
Am I the only one
Who follows his own path
Am I the only one
That doesn't live by a fad
Am I the only one
Because it's starting to feel like it
Am I the only one
Because honestly I'm pissed
That I'm the only one
Who follows his own path
That I'm the only one
That doesn't live by a fad
That I'm the only one
Because it's starting to feel like it
That I'm the only one
Because if you're about it fucking prove it
I would like to know
Who the fuck you think you are?
You act like you're some sort of god
Keep your petty comments to yourself
I don't need your worthless words
So tell me
Am I the only one
Am I the only one
Who follows his own path
Am I the only one
Who doesn't live by a fad
Am I the only one
Because it's starting to feel like it
Am I the only one
Because honestly I'm pissed
That I am the only one

Who's going out tonight?
Let's all go to the watering hole
Where we can drink our problems away
We're doing shots and buying rounds
To watch the stress fade away
I wanna know if you're ready to rock n roll
Smoke a blunt and take it slow
Let's make tonight incredible
And we will go until the morning comes
To watch those stars fade away
We are the type to go all night
So let's see who can hang
I love sex, drugs, rock n roll
It fuels me like an animal
No telling how far I will go
When I let the liquor take control
I love sex,drugs, rock n roll
Baby c'mon
Oh I can tell a story my friend
About the girl I met last night
She had some tricks up her sleeve
And rode my cock all night
I wanna know if you're ready to rock n roll
Find two girls and take them home
Let's make tonight incredible
And we will go until the morning comes
To watch the star fade away
We are the type to go all night
So let's see who can hang
Tip them back
I love sex,drugs, rock n roll
It fuels me like an animal
When I''m drinking no telling how far I will go
I love sex, drugs, rock n roll

Royal Flush
03:26
|
|||
|
I can tell a story
Of a time
When everything was lost and thrown away
Reckless is what we were
Impulsive
Blind to everything we ever had
Now I'm feeling lost
Worthless
Daydreaming of those better days
When I knew that I could smile
And not dwell on misery
Now the times have changed
Done with your games
Oh how the tables have turned
I'm the dealer and it's your turn
Play the hand you're delt
I will not be held back
I will not lose my track
What you see is what you get
And you don't have my respect
It's in your eyes
When you're speaking all your lies
Sometimes you win
Sometimes you lose
Flip your coin and carry on
It's your move
Make it now
Sometimes you win
And you lose
Royal Flush
It's your move
Make it now
And I'll play a royal flush

21 or Bust
03:27

|
I can't believe that time moves so fast
Look at how these 4 years have past
In a blink of an eye it goes and what's next no one knows
So embrace your future and the past
For you don't know how long it will last
Stop pretending you will live forever
When death is the only promise kept
So what's this thing called life?
And when will I die?
As time moves so fast
I don't know how long I will last
At least until that day I'll fight
With my friends by my side
Won't deny our claim
When we put this world to shame
What's the point of life
When we are born to die
My mind is always racing on this topic
And I don't fucking know how to stop it
Does anyone else feel me on this?
Living life with the thought that we don't exist
What's the point of life
When we are born to die
To whom do I ask these questions
When god don't fucking answer
I just want to know what's the meaning of life
21 or Bust

Snake Eyes

Rolling snake eyes
Where will you be when your time is over?
Where will you be when the reaper roll snake eyes?
You beg and plead for forgiveness
Knowing that it will all come to an end
There comes a point in everyone's life
When are going to die
It is inevitable for it's the cycle of life
Born in, death out it goes
Yet unpredictable
And you know it's time
When the reaper rolls snake eyes
This is how it goes
The ending is unknown
When you play in the gamble of life
The time and place aren't set in stone
But you know that it will come to an end
One day my friend we die alone
So make the most while you can
When the reaper rolls snake eyes
Then it is time to fucking die
Oh life is beautiful they say
Yet we all dream to take it all away
Drink your poison the wine filled in your cup
Some will even stick a fucking needle in their arm
Until their eyes close shut
I am not afraid to die
I just want to know
The fucking place and time
This is what happens when you gamble with life
In the end we all fucking die
Fuck
Rolling snake eyes

It's a long road
That I walk alone
To find my way back home
As I carry on
I've been lost for awhile now
Everything is surreal
Can't make sense of this life
When I don't know how I feel
About anything or anyone look at the monster I've become
In the mirror I stop and stare in my reflective eyes
I want to take away
To take it all away
I just wish to be saved
I just wish to be sane
I'd give anything
To feel whole again
Depression rips me apart
Leaves a hole inside my heart
Like an apple with a worm
I'm being eaten from the inside
And it's terrible
That everyday I wish I die
It's clear to me that I'm another fucking tragedy
And no one can save this hopeless, useless entity
I want to take away
To take it all away
I just wish to be saved
I just wish to be sane
I just wish to be sane
Take it all away
My god take it all away
Tell me why I hate myself
In life you're not always the person you thought you'd be
But the person in the mirror is who you really are
I want to take away
To take it all away
I just wish to be saved
I just wish to be sane
Happy endings are for fairy tales
Not real life

Now you'll see when you hope and believe
Strive to achieve and you'll succeed
So take my hand and follow me
And watch dreams become reality
Because this is who I am
And there'es nothing you can say
That can take that away
And by the way that it seems
You're either with or against me
I'm sick of people talking
I hear them in my ear
Their voices are jumbled yet so very clear
Their mouths are like faucets spewing shit and hate
Running a mile a minute and never going late
So fuck what they say I'm not going away
So bet your ass you'll see me another day
Because now is my time
My time to shine
Just you watch you'll see
There's nothing that can stop me
Fuck your disrespect
Oh it's funny now I see
The people who support me
Look over my shoulder and see
The people that matter to me
Now I know I'm not alone
To face this world beyond home
Even though the voices tell me
There's no one there but me
Get out of my head
Why don't you shut the fuck up
Pick it up, go!
Believe in yourself when others don't
Do what you love it's what matters the most
Trust me they'll hate but that's how it goes
Never deny that feeling in your bones
Nothing can stop me now
Diamonds in the rough

Ha ha ha ha
I'm acting like a fool
Ha ha ha
Because the jokes on you
I am not your pawn
It's checkmate and time to retaliate
You think your king but just a fucking joker
Now you lost game over
Where's your fucking crown now?
You made your bed now sleep in it
For every action there is consequence
Boy you fucked up when you messed with me
You created your worst enemy
No longer king I dethroned ya
And the world I'm taking over
Domination
Woah
What's it like looking up at me
With your nose buried in the dirt?
It's pretty fucking embarrassing how your life has turned
Don't you remember when you used me
Lift me up just to bring me down
It crushed me mentally abused
Oh how karma comes around
'Round and round
You reap what you sew
Don't come crying to me
To be honest I think you should go fuck yourself
HA HA Joker

Bullets

Let the bullets spray
Vengeance will be mine
This is the time where I call you out
Just because I know who you are
All your twisted lies will subside
For this is when I'll put you in your grave
Smack me on the cheek and I'll strike you on the other
I'll show you true fear like no other
Put the barrel to your mouth so meet your mother
This is where I'll end your life
I am the death dealer
I will seal your fate
Cry to your god as I stand above you
Can the divine protect you from the wicked
When your life is past due
I will show you hate
I will make you eat your words
I will show you why I'm sinister
What ya gonna do when ya got nowhere to run to?
In plain sight no where to hide
Scared little bitch when I come and confront you
This is where I'll end your life
I will fucking embarrass you
There will be no words
I will fucking embarrass you

Gamble of Life
06:22
|
|||
|
It's a mystery where we came from
Everybody has a thought on how it began
Creation or evolution is there only one?
Time to make a stand for the gamble has begun
The odds aren't in my favor
But I will not accept defeat
Even if the world stands against me
I will make my mark in history
You're given one life
One chance to live your dreams
And pursue them to the fullest extent
Keep in mind everyday is a risk
A gamble of life or so they say
Keep your head high when times are dark
Spark the candle and light your own way
I will not sub come to the odds
For I'm the voice for the lost to be found
I won't back down
There are people who depend on me
To guide them through the dark times in life
All bets are in
Fight for what you want
And I will be your guide
Use me as an example
For I used to be
A lost lonely soul
Broken, scared, damaged beyond all repair
And then I realized I'm better than this
It's all in your head
Can not fail
Will not fail
My mind is set and I placed my bet into the wishing well
I'm just a person with a goal at hand
I plan to achieve it however I can
I told my grandmother on her deathbed
I'll travel the world until my end
Venture off into the unknown
To find a place to call my home
I appreciated everyone who stood by my side
Along the endless, horrid grind
With prize in your eyes you will realize
To fulfill your dreams it takes some tries
Never give up, surrender the odds
Take life by chance your destiny is yours
Full speed ahead!
Life is just a gamble they say you won't win
One day we will die but not without my mark etched in stone
Place your bet, take your chance
In the gamble of life
