Lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury
The court is now in session
Case number one
Me versus me
Back when I was young, had a crown in my sight
Had my fist to the sky every night, every fight
Said I'd rise, touch the light, rewrite what they write
Leave a mark so deep they could never rewrite
Had a head full of fire, had a chest full of pride
Had a voice saying "go," had a fear saying "hide"
So I balanced on the line while I lied to my mind
Making excuses every time destiny knocked outside
I was talking about dreams more than chasing the schemes
Building castles in the clouds while I was tearing the beams
Selling stories to myself, buying doubt by the pound
Looking up for a throne while I was digging down
Every "tomorrow" became another delay
Every step that I skipped became another chain
Every chance that I missed came back with a name
Judgment Day
Then I looked in the mirror
Face to face with the traitor
The man I became
Wasn't the one I swore I'd become
Welcome to Judgment Day
No place to run, no debt delayed
No judge above and no jury to sway
Just every promise I threw away
Welcome to Judgment Day
Every lie that I made got paved in my way
Now I'm staring at the wreckage I made
And I got no one else to blame
I kept waiting for a moment that would never arrive
A perfect little planet where the stars would align
A perfect situation, perfect state of mind
But perfection's just a prison built to murder your time
So I watched years pass like a train in the rain
Same station, same seat, same pain, same chain
Watching everybody move while I remained the same
Trying to dodge the loss while I was losing the game
See the dream never died, I just left it behind
Buried deep under comfort, under fear, under pride
Put a knife in its back then I acted surprised
When the ghost of what I wanted came to visit at night
Now the echoes keep repeating every word I denied
Like a thousand unpaid debts coming due at one time
Every road that I avoided now is standing in line
Judgment Day
Welcome to Judgment Day
No place to run, no debt delayed
No judge above and no jury to sway
Just every promise I threw away
Welcome to Judgment Day
Every lie that I made got paved in my way
Now I'm staring at the wreckage I made
And I got no one else to blame
I lost the map
Lost the path
Lost the version of me I thought would last
Lost the fire
Lost the frame
Lost so much I forgot my name
No applause
No rescue line
No miracle waiting right on time
Just silence
And me
Then I hit the bottom
Then I broke through that
Fell so hard I couldn't tell where the hell was at
Every wall that I built came collapsing back
Every bridge that I burned turned a world pitch black
I tried to cry
Nothing came
Not a drop, not a flood, not a hint of rain
Guess I emptied every tear trying to numb the pain
So I laughed instead
Yeah, I laughed insane
Laughed at the wreckage
Laughed at the scars
Laughed at the distance between me and the stars
Laughed at the king that I thought I'd become
Laughed at the war that I lost before it begun
And in that darkness
Down that hole
With a shattered heart and a damaged soul
For the first time ever
I finally looked above
Welcome to Judgment Day
If this is the price then I'll gladly pay
Every cut, every bruise, every ounce of shame
I'll carry them all till I carve my name
Welcome to Judgment Day
I survived every fall that came my way
I ain't asking for another escape
I'm ready for whatever awaits
From the deepest depth
Of the darkest place
I lifted my eyes
Through the cold and gray
And far above
Beyond the pain
I saw a light
And it called my name
