Reap
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus · Am I The Enemy [2011]
I think we're past the point of achieving
Any common ground in believing
We can work this out
I used to look to you for direction
That was before I saw the deception
That was hidden behind your eyes
That was just your empty pride
If you gain the world by trading your soul
(If you gain the world, if you gain the world)
Remember you'll reap just what you sow
(If you gain the world, if you gain the world)
There's no one left to save you now
You'll get what you deserve your own place in hell
Lost your way it made you change it made you dark
But once upon a time you spoke from the heart
If you gain the world by trading your soul
(If you gain the world, if you gain the world)
Remember you'll reap just what you sow
(If you gain the world, if you gain the world)
There's no one left to save you now
You'll get what you deserve your own place in hell
Blinded by big city lights
I'm not saving you tonight
I know that's what you live for
You'd rather die than end a fight
Rather suffer than be right
I know that's what you live for
I know that's what you live for...
If you gain the world by trading your soul
(If you gain the world, if you gain the world)
Remember you'll reap just what you sow
(If you gain the world, if you gain the world)
There's no one left to save you now
You'll get what you deserve your own place in hell
Your own place in hell.
