Reign

When I was young, just under 21

I tore my town apart by emptying my loaded gun

Into the atmosphere, catching bodies along the way

And now the Lord can't help me, and there ain't no god to save

A wretch like me

A wretch like me

A wretch like me

My family is upset, but I'm still their baby boy

Who's never gone nowhere alone, but now I ain't got no choice

I'm going down, I'm going down

I'm going down, down, down, I'm going down

Oh, but I don't wanna go to hell

No, I don't wanna go to hell

But if the devil is a bully

Then I guess I might as well still be alive

And at the football games, everyone will know my name

Won't matter if they're local, or they're in from outta state

The innocent boy turned dangerous who went to the mall that day

He grew up in the foothills

He went to that mall to slay

And like a bad dream, that feels so real

That it can't be, but it is still

And like a nightmare taken out of sleep

It hits you in the morning like a newspaper at your feet

My name will reign

My name will reign

My name will reign

Cryin' on my mama's shoulders holdin' my daddy's hand

Look into my sister's eyes, I know it's hard to understand

That what I did, won't be forgiven

And what I did, is neverending

But look up at the school and tell me

What do you see?

There's something wrong with all of them

There's nothing wrong with me

My name will reign

My name will reign

My name will reign

My name will reign

My name will reign, reign

My name will reign

My name will reign, reign

My name will reign

My name will reign, reign

My name will reign

My name will reign, reign

My name will reign

When I was young, just under 21

I tore my town apart by emptying my loaded gun

Into the atmosphere, catching bodies along the way

And now the Lord can't help me, and there ain't no god to save

A wretch like me
