Pride

(album: Confessions - 2013)

[Verse]
I packed up all my secrets to embark on my denies
I left all my belongings to my loved ones, far behind
I feel like I have seen enough, my memories and crimes
Honesty has called my bluff and victory is mine.
I want this bad behavior to be buried in a ditch
Where strangers can just pull aside and suck it with their piss
I've wasted my good fortune, my body and my mind,
I'm going down nothing else but bullets in my pride.
And I know all this has changed me.

[Chorus]
How long will I still have to wait?
How long will it take to get there?
How long will all this take?
What happens after we get there?

[Verse]
The more I learn about myself, the more I want to hide,
I never felt like giving up, but something isn't right.
My mother always told me you'll find out in the end
So should I be ashamed of my questions about sin?
And glory be to all the ones who helped their fellow men
It might just be the secret to refill the master plan
I've wasted my good fortune, my body and my mind,
I'll go without nothing else but bullets and my pride.
And I know all this has changed me.

[Chorus]
How long will I still have to wait?
How long will it take to get there?
How long will all this take?
What happens after we get there?

How long will I still have to wait?
How long will it take to get there?
How long will all this take?
What happens after we get there?

[Bridge]
Tell me what is real, show me what is right,
I can't find my way, close my eyes and light the candles,
My peace of mind got lost in battle,
The bullets in the chamber matter
If I break, if I hesitate, I come unglow.

[Verse]
I've been to lots of places, I've seen people of all kinds,
Working very hard to get ahead before you die
I think we made it harder than it ever had to be
Getting fucked is what you're after and the money is what you need.
Have I reached my whole potential or you'll tell me when it's time?
I never lacked experience, I never made a dime.
I've wasted my good fortune, my body and my mind,
I'll go without nothing else but bullets and my pride.
And I know all this has changed me.

[Chorus]
How long will I still have to wait?
How long will it take to get there?
How long will all this take?
What happens after we get there?
