A message to all who have done me wrong or ditched me to do something “better” when it comes to musical endeavors. I’m happy with where I’m at and certain people would still be beside me if they weren’t selfish or lazy/unmotivated. What are you doing now?

lyrics

You’re just a fixture on a fallen wall and it’s my house that needs rebuilt.
As it goes my way, you’ve got perspective now. And on your own, you’re standing still.
Watch me, I am not a patsy. You can take a back seat. It’s my show!
Pay the piper well, everybody. Live in your own hell…is it burning?
It took so long; karma finally arrived before I fell. And I got it.
You think you’re sitting on a mine of gold. Don’t quit your day job. It’s a dream.
Cause it’s mine to take. I could have shared the wealth, but sweet revenge has taken me.
Embrace yourself for a life reflecting on time gone by.
Regrets are gone in my eyes, I’ve said my peace, (and) it’s alright.
Besides we’re getting too old, you can’t come in from the cold.
I should just give you my hand but I just don’t give a damn.
Can I forgive and forget? Your roll in my life is set.
Besides we’re getting too old, you can’t come in from the cold.
Can I forgive and forget?
