When I was 16
I knew what I had to do
so I found a gun
and a ski mask
and I lived like a king
But it didn't quite work
I didn't have the balls
so I sold my gun
and I moved outwest
and I have no friends
So I started doing drugs
and that was way easier
and I cut off contact with my step dad
and everything became way easier
So start doing drugs
I told all my new friends
So start doing drugs
I told all my old friends
Cause nothing is easier than sell crack
to people you know are addicts

I got up at 4 am and by 5 I was ready to sell
I knew what I was about to do, would cement my place in hell
hit the streets by 10 am and found an unsuspecting man
he asked me what I had to offer him so I showed him my hand
Now I'm just a man who sells crack
without a soul
I'm outta control
and Im on a roll
3 days later 6 grand in the bank
this is the life
but you can only do so much alone,
before you need some advice
I think its time I found a partner
who can handle this load
Its time I head down town
I know just where to go

I tried to sell all my shit
on the internet
but no likes to buy
soiled clothes
and I don't know
why I am like this
and I don't know where to go
I lost my job at the brewery
yesterday
But I don't fucking care
cause I set fire to my old workplace
and nobody work there
I think I am the perfect fit,
for what you have in mind
give me a chance, I'll follow all your plans
I'm not a waste of time
Listen mister, that's a real mice story
but I don't run a fucking charity
but if you need the money I guess you could do some work for me

Today marks the first time this decade
that I have had a place that I could call home
It is an apartment on broker street,
and it feels great to live alone
This is the first time this decade
I have a place that I can call home
and this marks the first time this decade
I have chance to claim my throne

The Missing Piece // A Letter Home
Late at night I toss and I turn
run outside and see what I heard
and I find her sitting their on my doorstep
Take her by the hand
and she is in my home
and all at once
I am not alone
I think I've finally found what Ive been looking for
I am pretty sure that I have become
the only thing that I have ever dreamed of
And I wish my stepdad could see me now
All the money I made
and the shit that I stole
the drugs that I sell
and the people I know
the ones that I left a long time ago
that never remembered my name
Well I have one last thing I would like to send east
a simple message to show I've made peace
I want them to know just what I am
and if my dad should start to think
he's got what it takes to fuck with a king
I'll put a hole in his chest

I never shower i never shave
I've never go outside and I never bathe
I don't play parties I don't play shows
and my van is always empty, but its cool Cause I got nowhere to go
I don't see what you see
I dont see what you see in me
I've brushed my teeth a few times, but I don't like minty taste
Ive lived in gutters outside, outside that shitty place
and I've seen neighbours walk by, and act like I don't exist
But sally, you fucking asshole, you were the only one that I missed
I don't see what you see,
I don't see what you see in me
i guess Ill do it,
just answer me this
what did you step dad do to you

Bm G D A
I got the address
I filled my van
Look over at the map
start to work on my plan
I show up, around 4 am
take a look around here
theres really not much that I have to show
a gun, a kinfe and some old beer
I'm inside of the house
creep down the hallway
Its too late to back out
walk along til I find his door
open it up and I can hear him snore
walk up to his bed
hes face down, already looks dead
but then I hear
from behind me,
two footsteps
bad timing
I duck and prepare for attack,
as I plunge the knife into the small of his back
I am grabbed, by two men stronger then me
and I scream and I scratch and I try to break free
but I cant, I'm up against the wall
with a gun to my head they plan on ending it all
I spit, right into his eyes, he loosens his grip
I caught him by suprise
so I run towards the front of the house
and I light it on fire on my way out
then I open the door and what do I see
blue and red lights illuminate me
so I shoot at the cops standing rthere
before I'm gunned down I got a message to share
you pigs, in your uniformed suits
with your guns and your chains
you've been waiting to shoot
men like me
but soon you'll see
the king of the west is setting us free
