Make It Out Alive

No surprises, last page first Upfront, no lies, truth until it hurts Another chapter, another verse Forked tongues, pretty words, unspoken bridges burned I should've known, never could Dare I say, got me good I think I won't, you think I would Leave well enough alone Never have, never will Been in the red, left the bill Settle up, I owe you still A promise to fulfill It's time to face the music Tears laced with excuses Wasn't supposed to be me Running from this prophecy Good intentions blowing by hell's road signs Fell into the depths, thought, "no regrets" How naïve to believe, I could make it out alive Marching footsteps, here they come A spineless shiver, they know what you've done Pointed finger, loaded gun Wreckage, reckonings, going, going, numb Rock bottom, empty throne Saved a seat, next to my ghost Scorched earth, "Here Lies" in stone Last laugh echoes on It's time to face the music Tears laced with amusement Wasn't supposed to be me Running from this prophecy Good intentions blowing by hell's road signs Fell into the depths, thought no regrets How naïve to believe, I could make it out alive Double-crossed, double-dutched Straight into the flames Rose up, flew away Phoenix is my name Double-crossed, double-dutched Straight into the flames Rose up, flew away Phoenix is my name Wasn't supposed to be me Running from this prophecy Good intentions blowing by hell's road signs Dove into the depths, now it's no regrets How naïve to believe, I could make it out alive It's time to face the music Tears laced with excuses How naïve to believe, I could make it out alive
