The Shift - Self Deception

Burning tires and a stolen car

I fucked up so bad outside the bar

Heading out as far away I can

Heart is pounding, got so damn out of hand

Doing ninety through the city night

Nothing’s ever gonna be alright

Life will never be what it was, hands are shaking

'Cause now my future’s crashing down on me

They tried to kill me when I fought back

I cracked their skulls with a baseball bat

No justice will ever make this right

I need to run and stay out of sight

Had no choice, it was me or them

Now for a lifetime, I’m condemned

Have to forget my old set way of life

I’ll go to prison or die by the knife

I hear the sirens they are closing in

Turn to fast cars, starts to spin

Screaming tires, time is running short

I’ll go on foot as my last resort

Running harder, faster than before

Until my legs and feet are sore

Life will never be what it was, my mind is shaking

'Cause now my future’s crashing down on me

(crashing down on me)

They tried to kill me when I fought back

I cracked their skulls with a baseball bat

No justice will ever make this right

I need to run and stay out of sight

Had no choice, it was me or them

Now for a lifetime, I’m condemned

Have to forget my old set way of life

I’ll go to prison or die by the knife

What the hell did you do?

Now my future’s crashing down on me

They tried to kill me when I fought back

I cracked their skulls with a baseball bat

No justice will ever make this right

I need to run and stay out of sight

Had no choice, it was me or them

Now for a lifetime, I’m condemned

Have to forget my old set way of life

I’ll go to prison or die by the knife

They tried to kill me when I fought back

I cracked their skulls with a baseball bat

No justice will ever make this right

I need to run and stay out of sight

Had no choice, it was me or them

Now for a lifetime, I’m condemned

Have to forget my old set way of life

I’ll go to prison or die by the knife
