Are you ready to meet your, your maker?
Born ready to meet my maker
V1
Will they forgive me for what I’ve done?
I don’t care too much, they had the karma coming
God made me a mad man, a hired gun
At least I did something, no one else ever had the guts!
Suppose I knew better
Because I knew bettеr
God gave me a madness, I ran with it
Could havе been the devil, can’t begin to tell you what’s what
My intent was good, at least I thought it was
Now I stare face down into a pile of blood
Of my enemies, lord, curse my enemies
Fuck em, let em die, let em suffer what they did to me
Took revenge, yeah, I went and broke me off a piece
Blood upon my hands, God said that He would set me free
I run to wash it off the water only bloodies me
I’m lonely, and I’m hollow, His blessing led to empty me

V2
Will god forgive me for what I’ve done?
My intent was love, and now my brain spun
I’m in my motel crying at my bed side
On my knees screaming at God; “Damn it, here I am…
You never showed me love, or taught me how to love
And since I thrived on hate, my acts are your fault
Made me warped, sick, and never even thought straight
All my life been chasing your approval, presence and embrace
But it never came, did it? you had to leave me empty handed!!
I went down a bad path, you could have stopped, you
Pushed me toward the devil, left lives forever undone
Your word, false prophets, and their lies
Though many years have passed, all these screams still fill my mind
Baptized in blood because I followed you
And Your unholy shepherds, Lord, you swore were true
Forced to exile myself from society
And hide in my shame til my past catches up to me
From this dirty motel in mid America
There’s nowhere to turn when the whole world is scared of ya
Scribble songs, read Psalms, and question Genesis
Of how you put me where I am, and how I put a fix to this
Never thought I’d lose what I already had
What I wanted was your love to feel complete in the end

V3
Can I forgive me for what I've done?
It’s been a lifetime so I’d hardly call this “on the run”
No one sees me for that monster that I have become
I’m filled with self-hate, maybe I’ll be happy dead and gone
Suppose I want better
Yeah, I made my mistakes, but I regret em
Sick and tired of just begging for your heaven
No longer your apostle, time to lay to rest my weapon
And if this disciple does decide to sign off
Would I live a normal life? Or would you fight to hold on?
Would you lie and say you love me? would you love me like you should have?
Was I chasing fucking nothing but a lie from the jump?
I’m a mess, I’m a fucked-up mess, to finally tell the truth
Nothing in my life had ever been for me, been all for you
Can I forgive me for what I’ve done?
I don’t know. to be honest I am scared to jump
Don’t know what to expect up on the other side
Who am I without a God to tell me who to fight?
But I won’t run. Not your child anymore, right?
Cause I won’t hold your pain, I lost my damn mind
Damn tired, til I stopped and finally took a breath
I’m washing out my sins with open arms to try to make amends
The more I learn that we’re one in the same
The more I come to accept that even god forgave
