Hear Me Now

(Album: American Tragedy - 2011)

[JDog:]
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I wear my crown of thorns and pull the knife out my chest.
I keep searching for something that I never seem to find.
But maybe I won't, because I left it all behind.

Now I'm stuck with this, and that'll never change.
Always a part of me, until the very last day.
Where to go from here? What road to travel on?
I spent my whole life choosing, and I always chose wrong.

Will I try to have the will to be alive?
Will I try 'cause I've never seen the light?
Blow it to the ground and it's now you see:
You spent your whole life taking the best of me

[Danny:]
Where'd you go? Where's your home?
How'd you end up all alone?
Can you hear me now?
There's no light, there's no sound.
Hard to breathe, when you're underground.
Can you hear me now? Hear me now

[Johnny 3 Tears:]
How long can I keep pretending to be?
That all the stars in the sky could mean something to me.
Heaven'll open up if I live on my knees.
A man of many words, but a man of few deeds.

Walking these streets, so absent of hope.
A pillow of concrete, a man with no home.
Lend him a hand, then we're walking the way.
Leave the virtue of pity, but we live with the shame.

So scared to dream in a world with no sunlight.
When you wake up, you know it's darker than last night.
Quickly we forget, sacrifice gone by.
Born to walk away, been walking my whole life.

[Danny:]
Where'd you go? Where's your home?
How'd you end up all alone?
Can you hear me now?
There's no light, there's no sound.
Hard to breathe, when you're underground.
Can you hear me now? Hear me now

Look into my eyes and I see.
What do I see? Nothing at all.
Nothing at all.
Take another look around me.
What do I see? Nothing at all.

Where'd you go? Where's your home?
How'd you end up all alone?
Can you hear me now?
There's no light, there's no sound.
Hard to breathe, when you're underground.
Can you hear me now? Hear me now.
