Predecessor Songtext
von Predecessor

Without a doubt, split second of clarity
I′ve had enough of this disingenuous sincerity
When will everyone wake up and smell the sulfur?
Where there's smoke, there′s fire

Trying hard to catch my breath
Ran away to buy some time
Forced myself into an early grave
Walk for miles to hide the shame
Learn to be better and correct the mistakes
Give it all up but this is all I can take

I was here before you
I'll be here after you
No matter what you try to do
Predecessor, make a move
Time will tell
Heal your wounds
Salt the earth
Pay your dues


A snake in the grass that has kept me alive
I'll cut off the head to just to establish the line
It ends with you and it starts with me
I′m trying so hard to be what you need me to be
A never ending war with no end in sight
Worms eat away at the hole in my mind
Conscious of what is expected of me

I′m trying so hard to be what you need me to be
I'm trying so hard to be what′s expected of me
I'm trying and trying but I can′t get off the ground
I'm trying and trying and trying
I can′t get off the ground

Web of lies to keep the peace
Sacrifice or face defeat
No matter what you try to do
Predecessor, make a move

I was here before you
I'll be here after you
No matter what you try to do
Predecessor, make a move
