lyrics

I'm getting rich a second time
Free from righteous cities
Free from egos that curse you
With no sense of pity

Overcome
All the cloudy thoughts I've had
As I roll up
all the smoke
Of what's been said

I'm getting rich a second time
From a burning fire
I roll my smokes
from burnt up ashes
My one desire (x2)

I've wasted
So many years to the life
Of dreaming
The trash of the night
You call this a life
But that shits so ripe

True pain
A disregard
for everything

The trash of the night
You call this a life
With everything that you
Do to survive
You'll do to survive

Where is the line between
fitting in and fading out
(What you do to survive)
Well it's so hard to think
when my heart is racing
(What you do too)
heart is racing

I'll be the hostage today
With nothing to prove
I'll be the hostage

Now shots are fired
Now I've got to hit the floor
Keep fucking moving
to the door in the room

Pick up some distance
Cover tracks behind
And drop the match in time
I've regained the gift of my sight
I've regained life (2x)

The trench is greener
from the other side
With a piece of mind
Not burning bridges
they're broken
with a shallow tide

Where is the line between
fitting in and fading out
(What you do to survive)
Well it's so hard to think
when my heart is racing
(What you do to)
heart is racing

I'll be the hostage today
With nothing to prove
I'll be the hostage

Don't expect
For life to go and to
Bring you there
The trash of the night
You call that the life
but that shits so ripe

Those who've said
You know you got to
Crawl before you walk
Have clearly never been
In a hostage situation

The trench is greener
from the other side
With a piece of mind
Not burning bridges they're broken
With a shallow tide (2x)

I'm getting rich a second time
Free from righteous cities
Free from egos that curse you
With no sense of pity

Overcome
All the cloudy thoughts I've had
As I roll up all the smoke
Of what's been said

I'm getting rich a second time
from a burning fire (4x)
