Lyrics
[Intro]
Welcome
Rites of passages and silence sacrifices
What sits on your pedestal?
And how did you get here?
[Chorus]
The price that I paid
All the moves that I made
Anything in the way
Watch 'em all topple and break
How hungry my appetite is
Atone through the sacrifices
Burning the guilt for a different horizon
Surrender my sins while the temperature
[Chorus]
The price that I paid
All the moves that I made
Anything in the way
Watch 'em all topple and break
How hungry my appetite is
Atone through the sacrifices
Burning the guilt for a different horizon
Surrender my sins while the temperature rises
[Verse 1]
They threw doubts at my name
Took it in stride with a smile on my face
Now I (Woo), settled down in my place
Black and white world, most of y'all can't relate
[Verse 2]
I mean, the lengths that I went
Scared to get involved
Ask where I stand
"For the greater cause"
[Verse 3]
By the end who's left with a greater loss?
Hate the gods, blame the law, mad they couldn't break the fall
[Verse 4]
The true dreamers working the full season
Lifetime commitment, I don't need a new reason
Can't miss it, see it through the accretion
Taking all the shots, my bullet is heat-seeking
[Verse 5]
Headshot through the doors that I opened
Cremated broken dreams, threw it out in the ocean
The notion, to immolate the commotion
To keep away the wolves, the ritual starts with devotion
[Chorus]
The price that I paid
All the moves that I made
Anything in the way
Watch 'em all topple and break
How hungry my appetite is
Atone through the sacrifices
Burning the guilt for a different horizon
Surrender my sins while the temperature
[Chorus]
The price that I paid
All the moves that I made
Anything in the way
Watch 'em all topple and break
How hungry my appetite is
Atone through the sacrifices
Burning the guilt for a different horizon
Surrender my sins while the temperature rises
[Outro]
What keeps the wolves at bay?
There's a war between the sensitivities of dreamers
And rude awakenings
Intentions endangered by those eager to feed
To bite down on what keeps us breathing
We pay the price, make the sacrifice
To balance the reward with a bold tender
This army of dreamers holds off the starving wolves
I'm not alone
I'm not alone because I have all of you
