Let's see that flop, turn, and river
                      All in, should've known when to fold
                                             Spent a lot for your soul
             The inferno's hot, but my blood's still cold
Pain means nothing when I'm headed home

                       We cut that ivory into skinny pieces
                       On that diet coke with the coke diet
*******, you look good in that attire
Fill it up, fill a cup and a prescription
                           You feel it all, trying to fill a void

   Life is paradise, what comes after is far better
Can you tell me, how much does salvation cost?
   I'll tell you, 100 million don't come even close
            Seraphs singing in all nine Heavens
          Tesfaye's soul is burning in LaFerraris

โ€œStrange stranger,โ€ I said, โ€œhere is no cause to mournโ€
โ€œNone,โ€ said that other, โ€œsave the undone years,
the hopelessness. Whatever hope is yours,
Was my life also; I went chasing wild
after the wildest beauty in the world.

Which lies not calm in ocean eyes,
or braided hair, soft tears cascade down the cheek,
mark the cleft of the lips, the smile part despair
youth and beauty consumed, but yet the eyes deceive,
they do not see what appears, but what the heart carries

And of my weeping something had been left,
that part must die now. I searched the truth untold
Wisdom was mine, and I had mastery:
Innocence was yours, and you had mystery;
I knew you in this dark: for so you frowned

For by my joy might many men have laughed,
And mock the steady running of the hour,
but they have plenty of time, as so it seems
but we are only for a moment, in the echoes of eternity
and you may contribute one verse.

I was no Harry Potter
Didn't have that much goodness in me
But maybe I was a Draco Malfoy
Trying to figure which road to take
Light or dark?
But somewhere along the journey
I scattered 8 pieces of my soul
like Voldemort

I want more than a friend
I want my life in two

Waiting for the end
Waiting for you

Give me reasons we could be complete
You should be with him, I can't compete

What do you know about love?
What do you know about life?

You say maybe there is a God above
All I've ever learned from love is strife

You're searching, what are you looking for?
You could give me peace in a lifetime of war

— The End —
