Raise The Gates

You know think you know what the hell I've seen?

You think you know where the hell I've been?

I'm from the places people never really talk about

Because they don't even know where to begin

The mom and dad that I never had

Were just the first of the M.I.A

I had the teachers and the preachers

And the coaches and counselors

But everybody faded away

Fake it sympathy, you don't care

Yeah, there's hell on earth, I live there

You can take me to the devils house

You can show me where the devil waits

So, let me in I'm not afraid

Raise the gates

Push me in the fire

Let the flames wash everything

I'm not tired of defending my beliefs

Let it burn me down to ashes as it crashes over me

If this is hell I'm not afraid, raise the gates and push me in the fire

When you said that you loved me too

You didn't get what it really meant

You can't lie and cheat, and steal and leave

And think you're ever going to see me again

Take it out on me, your M.O

Left in hell on earth, all alone

You can take me to the killing fields

And you can show me where the devil waits

So, let me in, I'm not afraid

Raise the gates

I’ve got this feeling like I'm coming undone

I don't know where it's from, but I know that I like it
