Lyrics

Mother E

[Pre-Chorus]

I've got my reasons and my reasons are sound

I've got my reasons and my reasons are sound

I've got my reasons and my reasons are sound

I've got my reasons and my reasons are sound

I've got my reasons and my reasons are sound

I've got my reasons and my reasons are sound

I've got my reasons and my reasons are sound

I've got my reasons and my reasons are sound

[Chorus]

Mother, I'm a man in hell

Just looking for a place to kill

I think they've got a price to pay

I’ll hit 'em where they pray

Mother

Mother

Mother

[Verse 1]

My heart lies beneath a line

I'm a suffering fool

I've got nothing but rage to kill

The pain, the pain, the pain, the pain

[Pre-Chorus]

I've got my reasons

I've got my reasons

I'm a little bitch how big did I feel

No one will know was actually real

I've got my reasons
