Dark streets, my enemies In shadows looking to see I know just where I am going You stare, there's smoke in your eyes I get close, my blood is the price You know just where this is going Oh, mother, don't you cry This thing will pass us by I'm strong, I'll put up a fight I know it's hard on you I'm gonna see it through I swear on everything I'm not gonna let it burn I'm not gonna let you see Fear is what you want Coming over me This curse is following me I will break it, setting us free I know just where we are going Old bonds still holding I'm ending this, I say I know just where this is going Oh, mother, don't you cry This thing will pass us by We're strong, we'll put up a fight And I know I'm hard on you I'm gonna see you through Let's give it everything I'm not gonna let it burn I'm not gonna let you see Fear is what you want Coming over me I'm not gonna let it burn I'm not gonna let you see Fear is what you want Coming over me Oh, you can run, you can hide, but I swear it Just swear it Oh, these walls will tear you down

Here's the reason It's the way that you are But I'm letting it go In this reason I am learning in life That I have no control So I thought over time And made up my mind To throw you a line It's dead in your eyes And you don't reply I'm wasting my time Now I'm driving around Playing back all the words In my head that I should have been saying I should have been strong I knew you were wrong But I just let you break me Here's the reason It's the way that you are But I'm letting it go C'est la vie And cry salut, let it go Let him choose his own road And you can push us out And you can do what you want But you're on your own And no one's listening No one cares anymore Now you're all alone So I thought over time And made up my mind To throw you a line It's dead in your eyes And you don't reply I'm wasting my time Now I'm driving around Playing back all the words In my head that I should have been saying I should have been strong I knew you were wrong But I just let you break me You lie You cheat You steal You hurt Here's the reason It's the way that you are But I'm letting it go In this season I am learning in life That I have no control And you can push us out And you can do what you want But you're on your own And no one's listening No one cares anymore Yeah we let you go

There's a coin on my neck Heavy weight on my chest Glowing white light surrounds me Now my spirit's caressed There's a trembling in the corridor I feel it in my head Someone's talking to me I don't understand My body burns In their hands Now a language pours from my lips Like hot oil from a jar I can see the foot of holiness You scream, "Kiss me, bow down" Have pity on the demon It was forced upon the child I am not the enemy Where are the eyes of God? There's a black and a white one Don't you spit on my land That would make your path a crooked one Now the bibles are swelling As the people cry no I will grip you with my burning hand You'll understand And I won't let go Black Dark tunnel crawl inside Water Looking for an end in sight I'm swallowing your death There's a weight on my neck Heavy heart in my chest Now a dark light surrounds me My spirit is possessed
