What Have I Come For?
Lyrics
What have I come for? What have I come for? Woke up alone, what do I know? What is my name? Where is my home? How do they live like they do? Denying the truth They're hiding the proof, they lie to get through What have I come for? What is enough? Will there be more? Is it fate? How can I be sure? Oh lord What have I come for? (To give it a shake, a different take) What have I come for? (If you're ready to break, I got the escape) I'm feeling done for (Heaviest heart, get you a spark) What have I come for and what have I done? Heaven or hell, it's on me, yeah I'm the one Pull my head out the sand Open heart, reach out hand Let it rise, hear the band Take a breath, here's the plan This place isn't great, what a mistake But here I am standing in the same sullen god forsaken state I trip the wire to start fire and I'm born to fan flames higher Way up to the man in the spire Send out the signal, it's pivotal, integral, digital Call me a criminal, but don't figure it literal Sleeper cell with the force, reshaping the score Give it a try or a push, let light shine on the good What have I come for? (what have I come for?) Is it enough? Will there be more? Is it fate? How can I be sure? Oh lord What have I come for? (To give it a shake, a different take) What have I come for? (If you're ready to break, I got the escape) I'm feeling done for (Heaviest heart, get you a spark) What have I come for and what have I done? Heaven or hell, it's on me, yeah I'm the one What have I come for, what have I done? (What have I come for?) Heaven or hell, it's on me, I'm the one (oh) What have I come for, what have I done? (What have I come for?) Heaven or hell, it's on me, I'm the one (for) What have I come for, what have I done? Heaven or hell, it's on me, I'm the one What have I come for, what have I done? Heaven or hell, it's on me, I'm the one What have I come for, what have I done? Heaven or hell, it's on me, I'm the one What have I come for, what have I done? Heaven or hell, it's on me, I'm the one
