Lyrics

THE RECKONING

This is for the sorrow
This is for the rage
This is for the ghost that lives inside my head telling me to pray
This is for the hurt
This is for the pain
This is for the lies and all the alibis that kept me in a cage

Enough is enough
Enough is enough
I'ma pull the trigger

Fire away and let it reign
This is the reckoning, death to the misery
Wide awake
I'm face to face with the demons inside of me
They won't be the death of me
This is the day of my reckoning

For every waking hour and every broken dream
For all the times my hands were tied
The truth has set me free
This is for the heart that makes me feel
This is for the love that makes it real
I never thought I'd make it out alive

Enough is enough
Enough is enough
I'ma pull the trigger

Fire away and let it reign
This is the reckoning, death to the misery
Wide awake
I'm face to face with the demons inside of me
They won't be the death of me
This is the day of my reckoning

Oh, this is for the heart that makes me feel
This is for the love that makes it real
I never thought I'd make it out alive

So, fire away and let it reign
This is the reckoning, death to the misery
Wide awake
I'm face to face with the demons inside of me
They won't be the death of me
This is the day of my reckoning

Enough is enough
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
I'ma pull the trigger
