LIONHEART LYRICS

1. Valley Of Death

Walking through shadows in the valley of death
Been looking for a way out, I'm lost, I confess
Tried to swallow my pride, now I can't catch my breath
Been scratching at the walls and got no fingernails left

Been taking pills for my depression, but it don't feel different
Couple extra when I'm stressing, trying hard to show interest
Pain-killers numb the pain, but they're clouding my vision
Praying every day, I won't pass this pain to my children

It's the long nights, it's the dark days
You say you understand, but you ain't on the same page
You ain't in the same cage, you ain't share the same pain
Praying to a god that don't even know my name

Devil knocking on my door, trying hard to get in
And I done boarded it up, but he now kicked that shit in
With his demons in tow, and they want under my skin
While the ghosts of my past, won't let me forget my sins

So I ride, yeah, into the valley of death
And so I ride, and though the flame burns my skin
I can still see my breath
So I ride, yeah, into the valley of death
And so I ride, and though the flame burns my skin
I can still see my breath
So I ride, yeah

2. Burn

Yeah, living for everything that's killing me
It's eating me alive
Conversations with God, asking for one more try
Swear I'll change my ways, but we both know that's a lie

Yeah, every bridge I've built
I just burn it to the ground
Every bridge I've built
I just burn it to the ground
I just burn it to the ground

So dig a hole six feet deep
Under the mud and under the leaves
Under my fingernails, and the dirt won't leave
Scratching at the surface, I just wanna rest in peace

Yeah, every bridge I've built
I just burn it to the ground
Every bridge I've built
I just burn it to the ground
I just burn it to the ground

All the bridges I've built
I just burn 'em to the ground, yeah
Been lost out at sea, cold and alone
Take one last breath as the ocean carries me home

Been using pain as my compass, and now I'm sick to my stomach
Been punching out the walls, and you can see the blood on it
And as the water fills my lungs, the sea grips my soul
I take one last breath and let the ocean carry me home
Carry me home

3. For The Record

And if we're being honest
I read every critique and every comment
Every album review and there's a lot of 'em
Every fucking critic with a pen and a problem (all of 'em)

Ya damn right
All my songs about pain
And I like em that way

So do you get it?
Sing about it cause I lived it
If I said it then I meant it

I don't bend, I don't break
I don't fold under pressure
The will to survive
I am forever

And while we're all on the topic
The wolves at my door still knocking
The voices in my head still calling
The voices in my head still calling

I don't bend, I don't break
I don't fold under pressure
The will to survive
I am forever

I don't bend, I don't break
I don't fold under pressure
The will to survive
I am forever

The will to survive
I am forever
The will to survive
I am forever

And once again for the record
Still don't give a fuck about selling records
Still don't need your damn handout
So keep my motherfuckin' name out your damn mouth

So keep my motherfuckin' name out your damn mouth

And once again for the record
Still don't give a fuck about selling records
Still don't need your damn handout
So keep my motherfuckin' name out your damn mouth

So keep my motherfuckin' name out your damn mouth
So keep my motherfuckin' name out your damn mouth

4. Rock Bottom

[feat. Jesse Barnett]

Infatuated with the stress
Addicted to the pain, I'm obsessed
Trying, but I can't catch my breath
Praying for my own death
As the roof caves in on my head
As the roof caves in on my head

Yeah, tryna juggle prescriptions
Now I'm havin' visions
I think I'm paranoid
High off these meds, they fuckin' with my head
And I can't stop the noise

Everything I touch I break
Yeah, I'm face to face with my demons
But they won't listen
Yeah, they want me destroyed

So go and drag the lake
And fade away
Everything I touch I break
Drag the lake
And fade away
Everything I touch I break

Sick, sick
Everything I touch I break
Infatuated with the stress
Addicted to the pain, I'm obsessed
Trying, but I can't catch my breath
And I got nothing left
Yeah, I got nothing left

So go and drag the lake
And fade away
Everything I touch I break
Drag the lake
And fade away
Everything I touch I break
Drag the lake
Everything I touch I break
Drag the lake
Everything I touch I break

Yeah, so this must be rock bottom
Problem after problem
And no way to solve 'em
Running from the truth, till my pain is forgotten
And I can't remember these scars
Or how I got 'em, god damn

God damn
Yeah, so this must be rock bottom
Problem after problem
And no way to solve 'em
Bottle after bottle
Till my pain is forgotten
And I can't remember these scars
Or how I got 'em, god damn

5. When I Get Out

At 17 I was kicking in doors
Smokin hella ports
Smash and grab
Imma take what I can't afford
Get rich or die young and poor
Get rich or die young and poor

17 years old
Knowing I'm forever cursed
17 charges
You can check the paperwork
17 minus 6, 11 charges dismissed
Almost lost 10 years on a mother fucking snitch

America's most wanted
Box Chevy with expired tags on it
Attempted murder they flashing arrest warrants
Now where'd you get that info from?
It ain't current

Now my mama gotta see me
In handcuffs and shackles
Chains round my waist
From my wrists to my ankles
And all just cause...
Had to run his fucking mouth
I'll see you when I got out
I'll see you when I get out

Smoking Newport's outside of court
I was born feet first
Couple hundred in my pocket
Fuck the judge, the DA, and everybody watching
I'm gone

6. Born Feet First

God damn can I get a witness?
Try and talk to god but he don't listen
Pain marches to its own rhythm
So if you listen closer you can hear what I'm feelin

Oh god, I'm losing control
Fire in my eyes and my skin too tight
The pain is callin, I'm coming home
(The pain is callin, I'm coming)

STILL
Got this chip on my shoulder
STILL
Right on the edge and getting closer
STILL
Searching for some type of closure
Not there yet and I'm only getting older

STILL
Bitter and cold for no reason
STILL
Going to war with my demons
STILL
The son of my father
Born feet first, baptized in vodka
(Born feet first, baptized in vodka)

Paranoid and I don't wanna show it
Got the shakes and I can't control it
Hit the brakes, I don't know where I'm going
And man in the mirror? Man, I don't even know him

Oh god, I'm losing control
Haven't eaten in 10 days
You can feel my rib cage
Trust me, we are not the same
(Trust me, we are not the same)

STILL
Got this chip on my shoulder
STILL
Right on the edge and getting closer
STILL
Searching for some type of closure
Not there yet and I'm only getting older

STILL
Bitter and cold for no reason
STILL
Going to war with my demons
STILL
The son of my father
Born feet first, baptized in vodka

STILL
Bitter and cold for no reason
STILL
Going to war with my demons
STILL
The son of my father
Born feet first, baptized in vodka

Trust me, we are not the same

Trust me, we are not the same

Trust me, we are not the same

7. Stories From The Gutter

So you remember when?
They broke into the house
Mama crying in the kitchen
Hand covering her mouth
My baby sister scared too
She don't know what's this about
So that night all three of us
We all slept on the couch

Reporting live from hell
These are stories from the gutter
Life's a bitch
And she don't care if you love her

Life's a bitch
And she don't care if you love her

Been through hell
And I ain't worried
Double back like Jesus
Just to tell my story

Been through hell
And I ain't worried
Double back like Jesus
Just to tell my story

Ever seen your mama scrape
The last food off your plate?
Apologizing cause we poor
Should've seen the look on her face
On her face

These are stories from the gutter
These are stories from the gutter

8. Before I Wake

[feat. Mr. Jet Black]

If I should die
Before I wake
I pray my eyes stay open
And I see you hate
I pray your heart stays broken
So you feel my pain
You better feel my pain

And I pray my god
He don't look away
Cause He been dodging my calls, man
Like every day
And the motherfucker never answered me
Any time I've prayed

MY GOD
He never answered me
Why he never answered me
MY GOD
He never answered me
When I been treading water
But the water too deep

I lost my cousin to jealousy
And a couple rounds or two
Provoke me, no telling what I'm down to do
I struggle so I can struggle harder
The trash in my driveway make me hustle harder
"The art of war" that's in my bloodline
Boy, I'll start a war behind tough times
It'll all get addressed, I'll get around to it
That poking out your chest could get a round to it

MY GOD
He never answered me
Why he never answered me
MY GOD
He never answered me
When I been treading water
But the water too deep

When I been treading water
But the water too deep
Shadowboxing waves
Just trying to breathe

When I been treading water
But the water too deep
Shadowboxing waves
Just trying to breathe

MY GOD
He never answered me
Why he never answered me
MY GOD
He never answered me
When I been treading water
But the water too deep

Knocking on heavens door
Ain't begging for entry
I came for the lord
He won't answer my calls
I wanna drag him to my world
This is hell on earth

I been praying on my knees
But I'm not reaching to ya
I feel like it's on me
And I'm not breathing through ya
My reaction getting drastic
You not taking time
Life's getting cheap
But you not taking mine

Life's getting cheap
But you not taking mine
Life's getting cheap
But you not taking mine
Life's getting cheap
But you not taking mine
Life's getting cheap
But you not taking mine

9. In My Skin

When I die...
Bury me at sea
Bury me far away
So I can Rest In Peace
And maybe one day
I can finally be free
And maybe one day
I can finally be free

(From this disease)

Depression
Is killing me
When I can't shake these demons
That keep on haunting me
Confession
I know I'll never change
But maybe I don't want to
Maybe I love the pain

(Maybe I love the pain)
Living life with a gun in my mouth
Pull the trigger, spit the bullet back out

Drawn to the flame
Stomach burning with desire
I just wanna feel the fire
Standing in the rain
Thunder singing like a choir
I just wanna feel the fire

(I just wanna feel the fire)
Living life with a gun in my mouth
Pull the trigger, spit the bullet back out

(I just wanna feel the fire)
Living life with a gun in my mouth
Pull the trigger, spit the bullet back out
Back out!

Dear god
It's me again
Devil at my door and I ain't tryna let him in
Demons in my body
I can feel 'em in my skin
I can feel 'em in my skin

I can feel 'em in my skin

Dear god
It's me again
Devil at my door and I ain't tryna let him in
Demons in my body
I can feel 'em in my skin
Been taking these same pills
Since I was a kid

Been taking these same pills
Since I was a kid
Been taking these same pills
Since I was a kid

10. Dragging Heaven

Bonnie and Clyde 2005
You showed me your pain and I showed you mine
I showed you my scars and you showed me yours
You and I against the world
You and I against the world

I'd split the earth for you
Dragging heaven to hell
I'd split the earth for you
Dragging heaven to hell

Bonnie and Clyde 2009
Oakland Blvd, just you and I
We had like 50 bucks in our bank account
Tired, hungry, and stressing out
But it's still "fuck the world" until we die

I'd split the earth for you
Dragging heaven to hell
I'd split the earth for you
Dragging heaven to hell

Dragging heaven to hell
Dragging heaven to hell

Running down a dream
To paint your name in the sky
Free-fall out to nothing
Leave this world behind

Free-fall out to nothing
Leave this world behind

Running down a dream
To paint your name in the sky
Free-fall out to nothing
Leave this world behind

Leave this world behind
Leave this world behind
