Lyrics:


(Verse 1)
Grace - in a perfect world 
On shines the light 
Praise - an angelic song 
but there's another side you'll see 
Now hide 
salvation easily denied 

(Verse 2)
Reigns - Down with misery 
Life's not always what it seems 
False hope 
written in the testament of old 
Take heed 
stop believing everyword you read 
Truth inconsistencies 
Distorts the lie 
False imprisonment 
Forever lost inside your mind 
Fates door 
Just be careful what you wish for 
Death's door 
Just be careful what you wish for 

(Bridge)
Peace of mind I can't find 
Don't be blind take the ride 

(Verse 3)
Hey... we live in a f*cked up world 
Walking on through the demise 
We step into the unknown 
Your better save yourself... 

(Verse 4)
Hey... we live in a f*cked up world 
Hiding behind the disguise 
Never let your feelings show 
Why can't you be yourself... 
We live in a f*cked up world 
Walking on through the demise 
We step into the unknown 
Your better save yourself...
