I am a man who lives in fear
I know there is a man who wants to take my life
And so I hide from everyone who
Might be considered a threat
I know that death is very real
And so I choose to not make bets
I house regrets from my mistakes
I have not redeemed myself yet
I see a man who lives with more
He has a store of everything that he could want
And so he hides within his life of being always entertained
No matter what the cost of fun
He has it all to spend away
And pass the time
That all the rest of us
Spend working hard
And that is unacceptable
With a gun to his head
I made him an offer that no one can refuse
'If I take your wealth, I'll spare your wealth
And now it's time for you to choose'
And oh, how we're creatures of habit
The future is plagued by the past
If I can't find an end to this cycle
Then I don't know how long I'll last
