Hell Ii: It's All Thanks To You



My pain is subsiding - no, no more hiding
This s***’s almost over, no more need for crying
Or lying or dying - because I’ve made it through
I’ve made it through hell and it’s all thanks to you
For finding the path, for doin’ the math
To help me live in the present and forget my past
I don’t understand how it could’ve been so simple
How we surpassed all those demons and made it to the temple
Of light and love - soaring so far above
The fires of hate, they could’ve taken my fate
But you didn’t let it happen - didn’t feed ‘em the bait
Despite all the trouble confined in a bubble
Caused by my life being all ruin and rubble
It left me f***** up, choked up, and all alone
Left me all broken - split open every bone
And just tore me apart, literally severed my heart
It played it’s part, but it was only the start
‘cause I was f***** in the head with pains in my chest
Those demons never quit, never gave me no rest
And there was nothing’ left to me but mass defeat
And simple realization of a life of cheat
And fraud that clawed my life away
Goodbye sanity, hello plaintively drunken sway
I’d better pray for a saint to paint my life clean
But it’s pretty hard seein’ if I dunno where I’ve been
But you gave up your role to pull the hell outta me
Pushin’ it and whoopin’ it to set my mind free
Yeah, you did it all without consent of your own
Shoved ‘em b****es down a hole and put us on the throne
So we can rule and govern our own free will
Without any pills or kills - we’ve gone over that hill
Countless times, yet we keep on runnin’ back
Fighting our way out - and grabbin’ guns off the rack
And runnin’ and hatin’ to begin a revolution
To punch f*** in the face and find our own solution
To this sadness and replace it with gladness
God, I’m so sick of this d*** madness
And I thank you for sending someone down for me
Someone who can help me find my way and be free
A certain someone who I can call a friend
To no end - a bond impossible to bend
Or sever, even by sword
Tied together by a chord
Someone great from above! A soul mate, a love!
One strong enough to slap the bad with their glove
This someone and I, we’ll spend our lives together
This union no demon could never, ever sever
Because our love is much stronger than the fires of odium
Love under light and above podium
I trust you to never let me fall again
Never let me endeavor for a life of sin
I trust you to know that I love you so
I trust you to hold me and never let me go
I trust you to be by my side forever
So we can make it through life and surpass the never.
