WALK WITH THE REAPER. / / / DEATH TO DARCY.

[Part I: walk with the reaper.]

[Intro: Byron Henderson]
Scream
Scream

[Verse 1: Byron Henderson]
I woke up this morning, filled with heartbreak and distortion
Healing, it costs faith, but I'm morbid
I had a clear head, but I lost it
Peeling your dead weight off of the pavement
Praying peers got it recorded
Way the bullets made your chest cave
Mistaken identity, they can afford it
Bringing new laws to enforce, I'm at war with enforcement
Corpses lining their pockets
Giving my all, but the urge is to forfeit
Each door I get open, they find ways to lock it
I realize the gun is a mirror, reflection is armed
Used to be pure, now subjected to flaws
Complexion objected by the wealthy
My well-being gears for a fall
Vision is clear
Face to face with it all, I scream...

[Verse 2: Byron Henderson]
Let me get it back
The light in the hours of darkness
A call forcing me out of my chamber of torment
The eyes of a marksman, I shoot with
Blood sutras written down over corpses
Trauma the blueprint to the web of lies I was caught in
Live a life of denial til you're dying and recognize the person you thought was keeping you alive is the culprit
Weakening of the pulse, to no surprise
If home is where the heart resides
But your heart is missing and hard to find, no wonder why you're homesick
Stick a fork in us all, out of sync
Tell the Lord each time I blink, I'm more lost
No rail to hold on as I fall, so I scream...

[Hook: Byron Henderson]
Two coins on closed eyelids
Don't regret a single thing I did
I'm paying the boatman's toll
Not ashamed of the life I lived
On a walk with the reaper
Apple didn't fall too far from the tree
But I'd rather pay it forward than pass it down to you

[Verse 3: Byron Henderson]
Steady at war with my emotions
Hard to cope with the commotion of trying to thrive in a system that's broken
We've been knowing they're armed to the teeth with enough artillery to rob the world blind
Tell me why it's our blood being washed from the streets
Even though we're talking all this unity
Organized religion poisoning minds, few and far between with their own thoughts
Different is bad, live in the past, look at us crack under pressure judging like we ain't got our own flaws
Grew up with wolves, but got a couple of rules we still follow
Views never align, refuse to play coward
Cool, and yet I sit back confused as y'all abuse your power
We've got nothing to lose, only a noose that's ours
Ain't no break if I break, I lie awake in the dark and it's fine
Cause I'm tortured, pain brings comfort whenever I get lost in my mind
And you won't hear me singing since I'm nothing but a cage cause the bird got free
So I'm nothing but a slave to my urges
Suddenly caught in my next bind
Only want to disappear
Remember my next line where I say I'll keep trying
And promise that I'll quit, but only til next time

[Refrain: Byron Henderson & Marina Esmeralda]
Walk with the reaper
Burn with the saints (ooh)
Who killed the world?

[Bridge: Byron Henderson]
He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got the whole wide world in his hands
He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got the whole world in his hands

[Outro: Byron Henderson, Marina Esmeralda, & Both]
The world is on fire
But time marches on (ooh-ohh)
You keep climbing higher to weather the storm (no)
With a ticket to nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, (ooh)
Was that good for you?

[Part II: death to darcy. (interlude)]

[Hook: Byron Henderson]
You've got a hold
You manifested yourself in my life
But now you've got to go
You've got to go

Cause Heaven ain't far, but I can't take you with me
My love ain't for all, pray binamu forgives me
I'm lost and I'm tired
Losing hope peace will find us
Yeah

[Verse 1: Byron Henderson]
Faith in the higher ups irrevocably tarnished
Hanging like ornaments, uh
My soul is dormant, head on collisions with karma
Torn between all I want and the thought of what I deserve, haunted
Became acquaintances with the bathroom, I purge
Strongest urges take control, a passenger in my darkest moments
Someone's got a hold that ain't me
Price of healing is mental health, promises made I can't keep
Relationships take a hit due to my fear of who I can't be
Screw you, Darcy

[Hook: Byron Henderson]
You've got a hold
You manifested yourself in my life
But now you've got to go
You've got to go

Cause Heaven ain't far, but I can't take you with me
My love ain't for all, pray binamu forgives me
I'm lost and I'm tired
Losing hope peace will find us

[Verse 2: Byron Henderson]
I hope I can change, as I lay broken, ashamed
Slowly my hoping, it fades, temple is open for pain
Steady eroding my brain, people I'm close to, I plague
Won't feel openly sane til it's motionless you're laying
I could never forget my "why" as I strive to achieve my "what"
Hopes high when I say goodbye, all my demons see is my dust
But maybe I'm just overthinking
Because of the fear in my mind, I'm slumped
Binamu said, "Whatever doesn't kill me better run"
I'm coming for you

[Hook: Byron Henderson]
You've got a hold
You manifested yourself in my life
But now you've got to go
You've got to go

Cause Heaven ain't far, but I can't take you with me
My love ain't for all, pray binamu forgives me
I'm lost and I'm tired
Losing hope peace will find us
