[Verse 1]
            
No more lying 

     
friends, wanti

          
ng tragic ends
          
Though they do

         
 pretend; they

              
 won't go when

  [  ]
 I go

[Verse 2]
            
All those blee

Gone from pain

Along with him

[Verse 4]
            
Big men feelin

     
g small, weak

[Middle 8]
            
Unclean minds

for sure
            
 For them ther

 People sinnin

 For they can 

              
never show the

There ain't no

              
 room for the 


hopeless sinne

Who will take 

          
more than he w

He will give,

The greed of m

far away from 


me
          
And my soul wi
