Song Lyrics

"The Reckoning of John Law"

by Embracing Goodbye
Album: The Fortunate Ones

Taking back what is mine, all bets are
off and

I'm not (wasting my time, wasting my
life)

I've had it up to here with all your
lies,

don't put that curse on me I'm not(
wasting my time, wasting my life)

So scared for me to stand on my two
feet,

but I guess crippled is where you want
me to be

The roads a lonely place when your on
your own(on your on)

So thanks for nothing, cause nothing's
all you've shown

I'd hold you for ransom and not leave
a note

Begging for mercy as I clinch your
throat, I feel the fire burning

Light all the torches and flush out the
snake

Sit down your gonna hear what I say,
The Reckoning is coming

Well, at least, you always had a
target, pushing me around and making me feel

Second rate, second best, I'm not a
failure,

looks like I'm the man you never
measured up to be

Yes I am the man, you never measured up
to be

Its so easy to lay the blame at my feet
(at my feet)

I know we're family, but you look
nothing like me

Nothing like me, Nothing like me
