Lyrics

, i was out here playin' devilish games, so it's only right i ended up set up in flames, i'm a grown man so i'll never complain, i'm addicted to pain and bein' left in the rain, i just sit and think about what i never became, i pray everyday that i'm ready to change, they say once it's bad that it's never the same, it's like my car broke down on memory lane, i can't wait 'til i face all the critics, that ain't never had to face the decisions that i had, to know if they had made the same ones shut the fuck up, you don't get paid to hate for a livin', it's so easy to point your finger and judge, hop in the pig pen and get to swingin' the mud, everything that we was, everything we've become, every war that we won, everything that i've done, ha, lord can you hear my prayer, it's somethin' 'bout the city i can feel i swear, i'm on my way god 'cause you're really there, alabama to mississippi, now i'm almost there, before i felt your presence i was almost scared, a trade with the devil i was almost shared, now i'm headed to the delta where no one cares, where our souls are buried and loneliness is shared, in the darkness where the heartless and demons scream, been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems, i found a nightmare in my dreams, down in new orleans, the darkness where the heartless and demons scream, been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems, i found a nightmare in my dreams, down in new orleans, heard a rumor they was comin' for me, saw a glimpse into the future i was smilin' countin' blood money, walkin' down the dark alley street lights flickerin', everything around me seemed so different, figurin' i must be lost, bad feelin' in my gut i gotta dust it off, i got a chip on my shoulder better brush it off, i keep reachin' for the gun havin' crazy thoughts, i heard a mother cryin' tears fallen from her old eyes, pedal drops as a rose dies, see it clear with closed eyes, gunshot then the crow flies, night fall and the smoke rise, couldn't see the beauty inside all of the darkness, vengeance and love i get confused with being heartless, heartless cross me out for a couple dollars, runnin' with the devil and wonder what trouble follows, standin' in the street, surrounded by my past, every sin i ever committed, is takin' me at last, saw karma's face in a black hoodie, with some gold teeth, and heard the police, heard a loud scream, seen the barrel flash, felt the sharp pain and now i can't breath, woke up from a dream in new orleans, put my hands up as the choir sings, in the darkness where the heartless and demons scream, been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems, i found a nightmare in my dreams, down in new orleans, the darkness where the heartless and demons scream, been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems, i found a nightmare in my dreams, down in new orleans, in the darkness where the heartless and demons scream, been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems, i found a nightmare in my dreams, down in new orleans, the darkness where the heartless and demons scream, been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems, i found a nightmare in my dreams. down in new orleans
