Critical condition kind of vibes You will be underlined If you clashing with the tribe That's a bet The way I write bars like a scribe That's a check.

We'll never let our legacy be tied to a breck No way they're going to make it on our side without respect We've never let a sucker in our circle for a sec Nor do we plan to There isn't one assessment That was not already ran through Second, did you try to join forces We began to scan you for anything That may concern the clan too Don't allow brand new people in the mix Unless you convince all of us it's worth the risk And chances are you probably won't make it on the list The only real piece of advice to give is this Oh, get out the way The ambulance coming Oh, no.

Life's like walking through a desert And I'm lost Guess this is my pilgrimage So I'm unsure.

Unsure.

Oh.

Oh Many things come and go Come and go.

When darker feelings take control Take control Always seemed I was alone I was alone A lonely street down an endless road The map for me to lead the way Lead the way The guiding light to shine for brighter days Brighter days When I was down and life was cruel That's when you stepped into my view And I knew that-- Life's like walking through a desert And I'm lost.

This is my pilgrimage So I'm unsure Oh, yeah.

Like's like walking through a desert And I'm lost.

Life's like walking through a desert And I'm lost Guess this is my pilgrimage So I'm unsure, unsure, oh, oh It's been a long day.

Yeah We're just trying to keep our minds clear As that train rolls across the tracks In a town of steel Where every sound it feels like a melody To a brand new song Where every line, it reminds me Of your silhouette dancing in the dark Well, it might be in my mind Because I'm so very tired There's a song in my heart That sighs for you When I lay down in the evening I fall half asleep in my bed Nights like these when I should be dreaming I always think of you instead I have visions and you appear It seems so real But it's in my head Still, I listen so I can hear All the things you never said Where every line it reminds me Of your silhouette dancing in the dark Well, it might be in my mind Because I'm so very tired.

There's a song in my heart That sighs for you You should know there's a song in my heart That cries for you Well, it might be in my mind Because I'm so very tired There's a song in my heart that sighs for you.

You should know, there's a song in my heart That cries for you.

Don't you know There's a song in my heart That dies for you.

I try to live my life One day at a time Sometimes it's hard to do what's right I'm just trying to survive Try to live my life one day at a time Sometimes it's hard to do what's right I make mistakes But won't make them twice I didn't know this day would come Thought we was playing, huh?
