Promiseland

I was born in that summer when the sun didn't shineI was given the name that doesn't feel like it's mineLived my life as the good boy I was told I should bePrayed every night to a religion that was chosen for me

Sold my soul, broke my bones, tell me, what did I get?Did my time, toed the line, ain't seen anything yetStrike me down to the ground, you know I've seen it beforeMake it hurt, I'll eat the dirt, I just don't care anymore

How could you break my heart?Already played my partI kept my promise manShow me the promiselandDon't occupy my throneGive me the crown I ownLived like you told me howLook at me now

I've got no money in my pocket and the whole world's bringing me downAnd the whole world's bringing me down

One person's lie is just another man's truthWe got done running from the devil, but the devil was youEvery time I see the light, I'm falling deeper in debtIf I've never seen the good how can I come to an end?

Sold my soul, broke my bones, tell me, what did I get?Did my time, toed the line, ain't seen anything yetStrike me down to the ground, you know I've seen it beforeMake it hurt, I'll eat the dirt, I just don't care anymore

How could you break my heart?Already played my partI kept my promise manShow me the promiselandDon't occupy my throneGive me the crown I ownLived like you told me howLook at me now

I've got no money in my pocket and the whole world's bringing me downAnd the whole world's bringing me downAnd the whole world's bringing me down

How could you break my heart?Already played my partI kept my promise manShow me the promiselandDon't occupy my throneGive me the crown I ownLived like you told me howLook at me now
