Sometimes I think the world's gone crazy Sometimes I think we've all gone mad People you trust And haters you don't Suddenly, they're both coming for you Everyday And it makes no sense Wish it would all go away But The Haters find what they're gonna find They always do And I'm not so sure anymore Where I can go Where The Safe Place is To seek a thought That doesn't strike in haste Think eye for an eye Or seek revenge But no, no Not so fast I've been through rougher Tougher I've had my fill But I never wished it back And I never will It's what they want, oh yeah The Haters they come for Vampire suicides The Haters they keep on Recruiting for the Dark Side With sweet revenge or Ways to avenge I've come close to black Sometimes you can't get back Once you're there In the lair You don't care Another one of the pack Oh no oh no I'll never be that man Never be that man Oh oh oh No, I'll never be that man You can chase me down All over town Scream a vicious rant Kill my aunt Promise me Then recant You can tear my house down Steal everything Propose to my love Using my diamond ring Use me Refuse me Mock and abuse me I don't care I'll never be that man No matter what you do No matter what you say I'll take it all like Job anyway But I'll never be that man No oh oh No no no You can set the world on fire Destroy all I desire But I'm never gonna be that man No, no Never ever gonna be that man No oh oh oh I'll never be that man (Lyrics by J. Hudson) © 2012 Invincible City Records, LLC.

My Way Back 04:59

Could've knocked me over With a feather When he took my hand I was ready & willing Ain't that the way Love's supposed to go When Mr. Right comes along? I opened my heart Bared my soul Shocked he would make me the one He can have whoever he wants And he does In the end, I'm still the lucky one Ooh la la la Isn't he handsome? Beautiful, perfect, unlike me Ooh la la la Isn't he handsome? It's beauty like his That makes him better than me Don't know what he sees When he looks down at me I'm just careful To stay clear Of a backhand and a sneer And when he knocked me over A right hook to my jaw That was the first time I don't really know why I stayed That's not the way I was raised For Mr. Right to behave I gave him my heart And my soul Thought that I could be the one Whose love would change everything But it hasn't No, it hasn't In the end, I'm still the lucky one Ooh la la la But isn't he handsome? Highlighting my inferiority Ooh la la la Oh isn't he handsome? He radiates superiority Sometimes I hate to see How I must look to be Sans self-worth Praying, silently, for my rebirth I could be there Or I could not Doesn't really matter to him I'm only something he quickly forgot But when all is said and done I'm still the lucky one because... Isn't he handsome? Beautiful, perfect, unlike me Ooh la la la Oh isn't he handsome? Beauty like that makes him better than me Ooh la la la But isn't he handsome? Highlighting my inferiority Ooh la la la Oh isn't he handsome? He radiates superiority Don't know what he sees When he looks down at me I'm just careful To stay clear Of that backhand and that sneer Oh, sometimes I hate to see How I must look to be Sans self-worth Praying, silently, for my rebirth Praying, silently Silently, for my rebirth (Music & lyrics by J. Hudson) © 2012 Invincible City Records, LLC.
