FIRST THINGS FIRST
I'MMA SAY ALL THE WORDS INSIDE MY HEAD
I'M FIRED UP AND TIRED OF THE WAY THAT THINGS HAVE BEEN
OH WOO
THE WAY THAT THINGS HAVE BEEN
OH OOH
SECOND THINGS SECOND
DON'T YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK THAT I COULD BE
I'M THE ONE AT THE SAIL, I'M THE MASTER OF MY SEA
OH OOH
THE MASTER OF MY SEA
OH OOH
I WAS BROKEN FROM A YOUNG AGE
TAKEN MY SULKING TO THE MASSES
WRITING MY POEMS FOR THE FEW
THAT LOOKED AT ME, TOOK TO ME, SHOOK TO ME, FEELING ME
SINGING FROM HEARTACHE FROM THE PAIN
TAKING MY MESSAGE FROM THE VEINS
SPEAKING MY LESSON FROM THE BRAIN
SEEING THE BEAUTY THROUGH THE
PAIN
YOU MADE ME A, YOU MADE ME A BELIEVER, BELIEVER
PAIN
YOU BREAK ME DOWN, YOU BUILD ME UP BELIEVER, BELIEVER
PAIN
LET THE BULLETS FLY OH LET THEM RAIN
MY LIFE, MY LOVE, MY DRIVE, IT CAME FROM
PAIN
YOU MADE ME A, YOU MADE ME A BELIEVER, BELIEVER
THIRD THINGS THIRD
SEND A PRAYER TO THE ONES UP ABOVE
ALL THE HATE THAT YOU'VE HEARD HAS TURNED YOUR SPIRIT TO A DOVE
OH OOO
YOUR SPIRIT UP ABOVE
OH OOO
I WAS CHOKING IN THE CROWD
BUILDING MY RAIN UP IN THE CLOUD
FALLING LIKE ASHES TO THE GROUND
HOPING MY FEELINGS, THEY WOULD DROWN
BUT THEY NEVER DID, EVER LIVED, EBBING AND FLOWING
INHIBITED, LIMITED, TILL IT BROKE OPEN
AND RAINED DOWN, YOU RAINED DOWN LIKE
PAIN
YOU MADE ME A, YOU MADE ME A BELIEVER, BELIEVER
PAIN
YOU BREAK ME DOWN YOU BUILD ME UP BELIEVER, BELIEVER
PAIN
LET THE BULLETS FLY, OH LET THEM RAIN
MY LIFE, MY LOVE, MY DRIVE, IT CAME FROM
PAIN
YOU MADE ME A, YOU MADE ME A BELIEVER, BELIEVER
LAST THINGS LAST
BY THE GRACE OF THE FIRE AND THE FLAMES
YOU'RE THE FACE OF THE FUTURE
THE BLOOD IN MY VEINS
OH OOH
THE BLOOD IN MY VEINS
OH OOH
BUT THEY NEVER DID, EVER LIVED, EBBING AND FLOWING
INHIBITED, LIMITED, TILL IT BROKE OPEN
AND RAINED DOWN, YOU RAINED DOWN LIKE
(I WANNA STOP.)
(WE CAN'T.)
PAIN
YOU MADE ME A, YOU MADE ME A BELIEVER, BELIEVER
PAIN
YOU BREAK ME DOWN YOU BUILD ME UP BELIEVER, BELIEVER
PAIN
LET THE BULLETS FLY OH LET THEM RAIN
MY LIFE MY LOVE MY DRIVE IT CAME FROM
PAIN
YOU MADE ME A, YOU MADE ME A BELIEVER, BELIEVER
