Bad Man by Empires.Collapse Lyrics
I've been a bad man, I'm a felon
Look at everything I've done, but I'm not telling
I've got a secret I can hardly keep from yelling
Whisper a little lie just to see if I can sell it
I've been a bad man, I'm a felon
Look at everything I've done, but I'm not telling
I've got a secret I can hardly keep from yelling
Whisper a little lie just to see if I can sell it
Ain't nobody in this world but me
And I like it like that, ain't no world to see
And I’m doing just fine in this burning sea
I set the fire myself, and now I scourge the scene
For anything left that might be worth it to reach for
I had a bad day so now I’m working to eat more
I don’t really care about what’s yours or keep score
I’m just tryna handle my shit, cuz it hurts to breathe
Want to know the real me? You’re in for a treat
Been kicked in the teeth, not as many wins as defeats
I’m the type to just sin for release
And break down often so I just spin on my feet
King of the downplay, I been through the downgrades
Vision’s been stricken so my prism is now grey
I’m sick and I’m twisted from the gift of the foul play
I live with the outrage but I swindle the sound waves
I've been a bad man, I'm a felon
Look at everything I've done, but I'm not telling
I've got a secret I can hardly keep from yelling
Whisper a little lie just to see if I can sell it
I've been a bad man, I'm a felon
Look at everything I've done, but I'm not telling
I've got a secret I can hardly keep from yelling
Whisper a little lie just to see if I can sell it
I’m lost in my own head, and I’m drowning
Not a thought makes sense, I have found that
Everything has lost focus. I know if I
Open the door, hoping for more, I could ground it
But the ease of words is gone now
Everything I see, is bleak, and all doubt
Everything I breathe is never what it seems
And the pressure within me has called out, fall down
The moment to move on this route
Is a broken feud I can’t even attempt
I’m in need of ascension, the heat of a presence
That bleeds with the tension I keep in my chest
The sounds I let slip, are weak yet resounding
I’ve crossed over steps that were previously founded
The middle of a war between my heart and it’s pounding
And the thought’s in my head, and they both leave me drowning
I've been a bad man, I'm a felon
Look at everything I've done, but I'm not telling
I've got a secret I can hardly keep from yelling
Whisper a little lie just to see if I can sell it
I've been a bad man, I'm a felon
Look at everything I've done, but I'm not telling
I've got a secret I can hardly keep from yelling
Whisper a little lie just to see if I can sell it
I been a bad man, and it’s cost me
I don’t know what I’m doing, I am lost and
Everything that’s building up inside me
Is bound to take me down, exploding with my thoughts, yea
I been a bad man, and it’s cost me
I don’t know what I’m doing, I am lost and
Everything that’s building up inside me
Is bound to take me down, exploding with my thoughts, yea
See the reason that I am the way I am
Is cuz you've made me unable to stand making friends
I don't want to make amends with the people that hurt me
I just want you all to leave me alone, and that's for certain
I get what I need from the people I have
The people that pass are just briefly attached
I don't need 'em. And if you think you need me
Then you oughtta know, I'm not exactly what I seem cuz
I've been a bad man, I'm a felon
Look at everything I've done, but I'm not telling
I've got a secret I can hardly keep from yelling
Whisper a little lie just to see if I can sell it
I've been a bad man, I'm a felon
Look at everything I've done, but I'm not telling
I've got a secret I can hardly keep from yelling
Whisper a little lie just to see if I can sell it
I've been a bad man, I'm a felon
Look at everything I've done, but I'm not telling
I've got a secret I can hardly keep from yelling
Whisper a little lie just to see if I can sell it
I've been a bad man, I'm a felon
Look at everything I've done, but I'm not telling
I've got a secret I can hardly keep from yelling
Whisper a little lie just to see if I can sell it
Look at everything I've done, but I'm not telling
I've got a secret I can hardly keep from yelling
Whisper a little lie just to see if I can sell it
I've been a bad man, I'm a felon
Look at everything I've done, but I'm not telling
I've got a secret I can hardly keep from yelling
