Hell To Pay

  • Feels like I'm running in place
    A past I can't erase
    I'm breaking, breaking apart
    (I know they're after me)
    It's like I'm fading each day
    They took it all away
    Left nothing, nothing but scars
    (They make it hard to breathe)

    Don't know where it went wrong
    But my love for this is gone

    I tried to numb the pain
    But I can't get away
    Hiding behind this disguise
    The games I had to play
    The hell I had to pay
    Everything comes with a price

    You're waiting for me to fail
    That ship will never sail
    Keep pulling and pushing me down
    (But I just won't let go)
    I know you wish I was dead
    I'm stuck inside your head
    I'm taking and breaking your crown
    (I'm better left alone)

    Don't know where it went wrong
    But my love for this is gone

    I tried to numb the pain
    But I can't get away
    Hiding behind this disguise
    The games I had to play
    The hell I had to pay
    Everything comes with a price

    I tried to numb the pain
    But I can't get away
    Hiding behind this disguise
    The games I had to play
    The hell I had to pay
    Everything come with a price Writer/s: IVAN MOODY, JEREMY SPENCER, KEVIN CHURKO, THOMAS JASON GRINSTEAD, ZOLTAN BATHORY
