| The Prophecy...You will amount to nothing... |
  |
Life is hard thats a given but far to often the ones you love go outta
their way to s**t in your cornflakes.You get critisized chastisized and
lots of other things that end in "ized" leaving you two options.Fold
under the pressure of other peoples expectations and become what they
predict or do something about it.Giving up is the easy road the safe
route a place at the end of the day you feel comfortable in just not
fullfilled and a great majority of people accept this and end up
perfectly happy.We all start our lives with great expectations and big
dreams but end up with a little happy life taking care of those we are
responsible for and pushing our own personal desires to the
backburner.Then there are those people like me that try to defy the
odds.All my life I have felt like a nothing existing to care for the
other members of my family and getting little thanks for it.My
opportunity presented itself and I ran with it.Do I have delusions of
granduer...no.In todays rock n roll market I would be silly if I
thought superstardom was gonna be part of the deal but it still doesn't
stop me from trying to achieve that goal.It's the preverbial carrot
that gets dangled in front of you and its what every entertainer
strives to accomplish with the vast majority failing to achieve this
lofty status.Knowing that I have a far greater chance to fail than to
succeed doesn't deter me because I am fortunate enough to be doing what
I love to do...SING.Write2theHead may amount to nothing in the end but
I will always feel fullfilled when it comes to this band because its my
blood sweat and tears that go into making this band what it will
become.Even though we work as a team I'm the front man so its my job to
create a buzz about this project and thats why I'm writing these
passages about our music and the lyrics so the general public can get
an insight into the inner workings of where the songs come from and
it's my hope that they will help people identify with the work because
of the common bonds the lyrics remind us of.My grandfather on his death
bed looked up to me and told me I would amount to nothing...it
devastated me but I overcame that feeling and I'm living my life and
dreams so that when I get to the afterlife I can kick that mutherf**ker
in the balls and spit in his face
THE PROPHECY
Verse 1
In the stillness of the cold I hide from my reality
The prophecy begins to unfold and invade my sanctity
I could never really understand what it all meant
The grip has released my mind clarity will not relent
CHORUS
I can see clearly now as it all starts to unfold
The prophecy rings in my ears all my life has been foretold
YOU WILL AMOUNT TO NOTHING that’s what I’ve always heard
And though I try to escape my fate the proof is in the words
BRIDGE 1
Every time I try, every time I fail
Every time I try, every time I fail
Every time I try…
Verse 2
So is it time for this man to accept his destiny
There must be away I can change the cycle of my reality
The secret is in the effort you put forth in what you do
If you live for the moment the prophecy won’t ring true
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE 2
Every time I try, every time I fail
Every time I try, every time I fail
Every time I try…
Every time I try…
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE 3
Every time I try, every time I fail
Every time I try, every time I fail
Every time I try…
Every time I try…
Every time I try…I Win |
