lyrics

“The Countdown”
Jensen Reed

Verse 1

So the way that I see it’s a choice I have
Take it or leave it, now’s your chance
When the demons call, they know your name
Sense your lies, it’s all the same thing
This is how we roll, do it for the money, the fame and the gold
I’ve gone a bit crazy living in the city where your dreams come to die
Circled by the wolves hear the little boy cry
Under the bridge downtown’s on fire
Forty feet up, hanging by a wire
It’s the end of days, light slips away


Chorus

Countdown prepare for arrival
Running in place barely surviving
Someday heads are gonna roll
When you remember you lost your soul
Countdown prepare for arrival
Running in place barely surviving
Someday heads are gonna roll
When you remember you lost your soul


Verse 2

Headphones on in the studio
Trying real hard to get that record deal
My beats are tight, like maybe hot enough
To crossover and have mass appeal
But no false tense don’t bring it around
It’s lonely down here in the undergound
I need a break for heaven’s sake
Can I get some people to hear my sound?
So many years gone by but I keep getting signs
Spit them rhymes you on the rise
Quicker than a freefall from a plane
Then your chute decides, it’s not gonna open
Your never gonna have that second chance
Never gonna rock no stage again
Sorry for the sudden change of plans
Something’s out of order, it doesn’t feel right
Finally turn a corner emerging from the daze
Give praise to the universe
The gatekeeper of our sacred ways
Follow the street lights, been waiting all night
For a spark, a reason to hope
Am I insane am I stuck in a cycle that’s broke?
The photographs are blurry hiding what you see
It’s all about perspective set your mind free


Chorus


Bridge

I’m so afraid, time keeps slipping away
The window’s closing, joke’s on me
Why did you try at all? Just to lose and fail
Only to pour your heart out
And have nothing left, inhale

Chorus
