Elisha De La Rosa (2/10/95 / Houston, Texas)
Grand Finale
Going the distance is not enough
I'll go further as an over achiever
I'll go alone, because the pressure is tough
Im going down as my own believer
Prepare for the unexpected
I have not just crossed the finish line
Create new comments I am now repented.
I left a past behind
Rejuvenate the life that I had
Estimate my mistakes That clouded the sunshine
Pay back all the bills I didn't complete as a good man
Project my future I found a loaded carbine
Do I end it all tonight
This guilt which had created a wall between freedom and redemption
A piece of lead can break this wall down, it's my right
End myself for your protection
My grand finale
It's haste structure
The fast melody
Of a click of the trigger
