Kennedy Betts

Kennedy Betts - Brave New Dawn ("Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" by P.M. Dawn instrumental) Know that I’m a sinner but don’t wanna be a hypocrite An inner lie is multiplied every time you’re telling it Found my way on Twitter and remembered have to pivot and Again I’m seeking Truth while I’m chilling with the misfits They bunch of cartoons who are running in the race and They’re not really cartoons cause I’ve seen a few faces They’re really just baboons who enjoy throwing sh*t at each other We’re no different than another If you fighting with the Christ then I say you are my brother I don’t care what f***ing color But the race is pretty dark Cause the gate is narrow and the path is hard Got a cross on my back and a Sword in my heart I don’t wanna wage war but I’m not at peace Am I trying to impress or am I tryna be me Am I stuck in the past or am I finally free Am I actually relaxed or just running with the weed Doing all these mental laps at extraordinary speeds Going nowhere fast until I can face the beast in myself It’s a cell, but I know I got the key But every time I disobey it’s like I’m crucifying He I’m a liar, I’m a killer, I’m a fraud, I’m a cheat But I don’t want to admit it cause my pride is killing me Cause my thoughts are dark, look at my mentality How can I be Light when I’m so far underneath Always wanna be right but I’m so afraid to be Judged or Loved or anything in between All I want is what’s Above but I’m not even the least deserving Cause I wrestle with serpents, but still get bit And now I understand why Adam and Eve hid They gained knowledge of themselves The reality of sin Aware of their nakedness they were clothed with skin And I’m just another man in this line of lineage We’re all cursed from the first, but can overcome our sin That’s the walk that I’m on, I’m tired of giving in My body is so weak, but my spirit thirsts for Him My body is so weak, but my spirit thirsts for Him Nobody understands me so Iʼll put it all in pages Theyʼll misinterpret anyway, and have throughout the ages Cause people only see a reflection of what their cage is And Iʼm not going back to mine, Iʼve been outside the matrix Thereʼs a serpent that is lurking to devour all the caged in The bars are made of fear and the floor is paved with hatred Holds you down like gravity, itʼs a weight you always take with But the cage is a cloud you can wipe away and make it Disappear into the air, fade away like a vapor Though the venom of the viper‘s a pretty powerful agent But you only get infected if you choose to go and take it Itʼs a liar in your mind, if you fear it, it will say it Because it feeds off of you and what you choose to put your faith in If itʼs fear you fuel the serpent, and solidify the caging But if you see through the mist, youʼll find the stairs out of the basement The judgement that you give is the same one that you are faced with The mind is a mirror, you can only see your face and the path into the Light is a path that requires patience going through many phases on many different occasions Learning from your mistakes, while learning just how to face em This is my apocrypha, this is my affirmation This is my exodus, this is my exclamation This is my apocalypse, this is my affidavit Of how to beat the darkness and overcome Satan Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the Son of God I said Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the Son of God

7. mirror | ɿoɿɿim [prod. Vika] (Forest footsteps) it’s all a mirror its getting clearer can’t you see What goes around comes around a universal fact there’s many names for it karma, others attached but whatever you put out Is what is reflected back Your thoughts and your words they are powerful attacks And your physical acts Are just internal energy Condensed to a form That give birth to the entity Two sides of a coin they’re the same thing anyway We judge people by the deeds that they’ve committed We say they’re worse than us cause they did what we didn’t But clearly you don’t get it The thought and the deed are not actually different Cause all murder is is hatred manifested if hate’s in your heart then you should be arrested Like the rest that you judge Cause your guilty by yourself and Another example Someone cheats on their spouse We judge them as bad but what’s in our own house? If lusts in our mind then we cheated too But you say it’s not cheating unless you actually do But can’t you see the Truth? What’s in your heart’s the seed and the deed is the fruit The two are the same thing, they are not exclusive We wanna say we’re good, but look where the proof is judge others by their actions, and ourselves by intentions We remove the facts for our own exemption cause We wanna be better than the person next to us They’ve killed, cheated, stolen, and lied But we’ve done the same thing in our mind So we are all the same, no matter how you swing it we’ve all made mistakes, raise your hand if you didn’t Nobody is better and nobody is worse He killed a man, but you have also cursed A man to his death while in a hateful burst Inside of your chest, you did the same as the first your perception of the other‘s a reflection of yourself how you judge another is how you condemn yourself it’s always reflected back cause there is nobody else at the center of the soul there is only the Self you only receive what you’re ready to understand you can only see what you’re ready to comprehend you can only go as deep as you have experienced into the soul, everything’s a mirror, it’s like a window to the simple complex web of reality the quantum realm depth energy’s gravity pulling in objects cerebral cortex perceiving the concepts Can you see the true Connection As you're breaking through the lenses Everything is a projection So go merge with your reflection Meet me at the Waterfall of Truth like in Naruto Shippuden (ep. 243 - 245) sit down on the ground and wait to see your true version come face to face with darkness that has been deeply rooted you try to fight yourself but you both have the same moves and an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth is not how you overcome, but the reason you keep losing Love those who hate you that is what the Truth is when you accept the pain that is when you can transmute it it’s all a mirror its getting clearer can’t you see it’s all a mirror its getting clearer can’t you see when i see myself oh i know i wanna feel warm and not cold i wanna feel Loved and at Home I wanna be Love where i go i wanna show Love to lost souls I wanna bring change through my notes i wanna make waves like tidal and defy the age like vinyl it’s all a mirror its getting clearer can’t you see it’s all a mirror (Can you see the true Connection) its getting clearer (As you're breaking through the lenses) (Everything is a projection) (So go merge with your reflection) can’t you see (Glass breaks)

1. Eternal Prelude [prod. D'Artizt] (Tape clicks) (Ocean waves) we wanna be good we wanna be pure and do what we should right from the start we wanna be True and be Who We Are but in this world you drift to the shore a shallow surface leads to the dark searching for purpose running from scars but Higher Greatness is in the Heart cause I AM with you right at the Core and I’ve been waiting We’ve been apart So turn around and look at Me come back Home start to move your feet cause You are Love made to be Free cause we were born in Infinity then separated from it got placed in a time where we gotta climb the summit to go back to the past to get back to the Future Death cannot be maneuvered watered down or diluted cause Satan went and done it Satan started the War Divided inside the Heart a violet iris transformed when people left the Garden traumatized by the darkness obvious fear of death’s been keeping us from embarking back to where we were before we ever departed afraid of going down through the glacial subconscious fearing the change of bounds cause barriers and the crossings built like a maze through the things that have haunted we’ve had many memories leave many scars of harm making it harder to breathe but there’s a Door at the bottom of the ocean believe cause i found a wooden cross in the shape of a Key cause the only way to Heaven is a crucified me i don’t tell tall tales but i write what i’ve seen there’s an outline, shaped like a lowercase t the name plate’s on top left to right, what it reads (Kennedy…Betts) this is the only Door that leads to the Tree the River of Life where the Spirit breathes in the Realm of Light in the night of dream walking back to White to Infinity we wanna be good we wanna be pure and do what we should right from the start we wanna be True and be Who We Are but in this world you drift to the shore a shallow surface leads to the dark searching for purpose running from scars but Higher Greatness is in the Heart cause I AM with you right at the Core and I’ve been waiting you ran so far So turn around and look at Me walk through the mirror and then you’ll see that You Are Love made to be Free start walking to Infinity (∞) (Forest footsteps)

10. descension [prod. YZ] (Elevator descending) (Elevator door opening) (Instrumental) It’s been a long time since I felt right i could even tell you what hell’s like cause i descended down here only last night just a little longer before i’ll rise It’s been a long time since I felt right i could even tell you what hell’s like cause i descended down here only last night just a little longer before i’ll rise do you understand why the Christ said “Father, why have you forsaken me?” on the cross bout to die the man looked in the sky then He exhaled finally crucified in the ninth hour of the night stabbed in His side then they took down the body but the Life already left but instead of going up It descended down for three days and nights but then He rose again after overcoming Death and He specifically said a little bit before He left to take your cross and follow Me do you understand why the first phrase was said? do you know what it means to feel the weight of Death? where your soul sinks so deep inside your chest to the pit where the worm and the flame is bred where God turns His back, and the despair sets in and day after day you’re tortured within as your facing terror, the serpent it grins you’re barely hanging on, only by a thread but you don’t give in, and you rise again after you conquer Death, the same way Christ did cause He was the first, but that was not the end see the last words, the first verse i said [Jesus of Nazareth 1977] (Jesus Christ: I have come to take on my shoulders the sins of the world… he who would follow Me must do the same.) cause i descended down here only last night just a little longer before i’ll rise It’s been a long time since I felt right i could even tell you what hell’s like cause i descended down here only last night just a little longer before i’ll rise He said to take your cross and follow Him imm a explain why in the following using x and y and equations graph it on the board don’t erase it revealing the Door you gotta face it nobody runs for you in a race and you gotta walk the path that He did going through what’s described in Revelations I can only gives clues bout the maze and everybody walks at a different pace and you gotta see for yourself really seek it but many misinterpret what the Bible means cause religion boxed in blinded Pharisees or they got a glimpse but didn’t move their feet i’ve been there, done that so i’m just as guilty but the more you walk, journey to the deep the more you understand, the more the Truth will speak the more the layers peel, the more that you will see and every step you go another piece received and every piece you get you think that it’s complete but its more complex than you can perceive the first step is easy, all you do is believe but that’s not the end, that’s just the entry now you’re on the Walk to Infinity (∞) It’s been a long time since I felt right i could even tell you what hell’s like cause i descended down here only last night just a little longer before i’ll rise It’s been a long time since I felt right i could even tell you what hell’s like cause i descended down here only last night just a little longer before i’ll rise

5. layers [prod. Chef Major] (Forest footsteps) you’re afraid to feel what you really feel cause that means letting go of what you pretend is real you don’t want to show who’s behind the veil who’s behind the walls when the layers peel I’m dying to fear I’m dying to death the layers they peel so tell me what’s left (Love) we fear letting go we fear the unknown but even when it is we fail to grab hold cause we fear the steps when the facts are shown cause the same thing happens when we move a zone one thing wilts and another’s grown like a seed that cracks but a root is sewn and when some time has passed then the bud is shown then the bud rolls back for a flower’s rose or when a muscle’s torn then it’s built back up stronger than before this is nature’s core the natural cycle of changing forms when one thing’s born one thing must die we’re not afraid of Life but we fear the line that connects the two and we fear the time being in-between the changing of tides like a roller coaster it’s a ride going through the layers inside the mind going through the heart to see where it lies going through the seals to become the Light going through the Death to become the Life going through the layers inside the mind going through the heart to see where it lies going through the seals to become the Light going through the Death to become the Life I’m dying to fear I’m dying to death the layers they peel so tell me what’s left (Love) you’re afraid to feel what you really feel cause that means letting go of what you pretend is real you don’t want to show who’s behind the veil who’s behind the walls when the layers peel (Breath) (Forest footsteps)

3. the rapids [prod. Mattaveli] (Forest footsteps) (Door) Sometimes I go to the bathroom Just cause I need a break I sit down on the floor My hands cover my face Or i sit inside a stall Just trying to get some space I wanna cry but I'm torn Between what I feel and fake Cause I'm afraid to be seen In such a pitiful state while at work, or while at home Or some other public place I try to keep it together But man this is hard to take Don't even know what I feel but it's heavy weight its like walking through a swamp then suddenly, its a lake I was trekking now I'm treading As I'm pulled in by the waves i just grab onto a log As I start to drift away the walk turns to a jog as the current starts to change i look ahead, there’s rocks the river’s bearing it’s teeth and all i can do is hold onto this former tree I shut my eyes, they’re closed the flow, it quickens me a little bumpy at first Uncomfortable say the least But it's just gonna get worse first, definitely Before it gets better that is just how it be So i tighten up my grip As I bounce along the stream I'm smashing right into sticks And other kinds of debris but now its getting rough like a storm out in the sea the water’s starting to throw the rapids are at its peak im getting thrown up and down Then im pushed way underneath I go from this side to that Like a leaf trapped in the breeze I crash and cut my back i open my mouth to scream (Gasp for air) but right when i open it the water silences me it rushes into my lungs making it hard to breathe I’m choking, I’m struggling to cling to my sanity but that’s when i realize i no longer grip the tree I’m underneath the water and it’s pulverizing me it beats me to the dirt it’s breaking my arms and knees air bubbles leave my mouth as i fade into a dream I’m losing consciousness i start to see memories the past and the present start overlapping on me am i sinking to the bottom or surfacing toward the gleam? I’m detached from my sense Of self, this is extreme and it’s strange in this state how i start to feel at peace How much time has passed? It feels like eternity But it's only a moment Seconds, only 80 It's only one stage A phase of the journey (Cough) And then i feel it calm As the ground touches my feet i made it to the shore open my eyes to see more trees, more thorns the forest runs pretty deep how many more times will i see similar scenes Going through the spiral Stages seem to repeat not exactly the same But not completely discrete this journey is so hard been everywhere in between but i get up and walk the Spirit keeps calling me and I’m not gonna stop till every demon flees i know i’m getting close just don’t know how many weeks calluses on my hands and scars all over my feet don’t have any band aids so i write notes when i bleed (Washing hands) (Breath) (Paper towel rips) (Drying hands and face) (Breath) (Door) (Forest footsteps)

I’m barely surviving I’m barely afloat Through forests I’m fighting As I walk this road You’re looking for a Fountain That can quench your thirst It’s at the top of the Mountain Where the pain is perched And the base is pretty crowded Cause that page is first But the higher that you climb The more the crowd disperses Cause the higher that you go The more the pain gets worse And you’re thinking in your mind Wondering if it’s worth it you say you want the prize But don’t wanna put work in You wanna feel the high But don’t wanna feel the hurting I apologize, but that doesn’t exist so you cry and you yell as you’re waving your fist at the sky in your anger cause you just want the bliss not the pain that it takes to escape the abyss but it’s pain that does make the Light shine like this Takes the rain and the sun to grow a tree this thick you want the straight and easy path but you won’t find it cause every single odyssey, it is filled with this: Pain, pleasure Trash, treasure Change in a Day’s weather Rain, deserts Flames, blizzards Warm, shivers Thorns, rivers There’s stages and parts Phases like the moon The dawn is always after The night like snooze And the day proceeds But night comes back through how one page starts The same one ends soon Some pages are hard And some are written on loose One page breaks the heart While another makes it bloom Some chapters are long But they’re filled with they’re Truth Heavenly ever after Is the ending when you don’t lose hope in a moment Don’t lose hope when you’re broken But get up, keep going keep walking even when i’m barely surviving I’m barely afloat Through storms and the lightning Continue to row The Walk is a path of great pain The narrow gate is through the crucifixion With your own name Where you gotta die to your old ways Who you were before So you can make your way Back To Who You Are But what that means is facing your scars Overcoming the dark That has grown in your heart Ripping out the roots Many layers and parts But this is the Walk The only way to God It’s carrying your cross All the way to the top Make sure you count the cost So you can finish the job Cause carrying its a part but it’s not the whole sum you might stumble and fall But keep walking to Golgotha Cause the jobs not done til you die with the Son And if you never give up Then you will overcome and even when death comes you will rise above I’m barely surviving I’m barely afloat Through forests I’m fighting As I walk this road Through storms and the lightning Continue to row compressed to a diamond and refined like gold (Forest footsteps)

D-Low] I speak to the wind and the trees respond Oo ooh oooooh I speak to the birds and they chirp and humm Oo ooh oooooh I speak to the sea which I'm walking on Oo ooh oooooh I speak to God and He says be One Oo ooh oooooh Humans beings, were foolish We're stupid and flawed The moment we get more knowledge We think that we know it all We get a glimpse of the Truth don't even know what we saw Then we start to run our mouth Thinking we couldn't be wrong We try to define to God But it's like grasping at straws He won't fit it any box You've made with your mind's walls And you can never stand still When you hear the Spirit call It pulls you in to the Sound It speaks to you through the songs He'll give you more understanding As you take another step But you just gotta be patient keep on learning with the rest Just because you gained some wisdom Doesn't mean your finished yet It's a spiral to the Light With dark breathing on your neck The closer you get to Life the closer you get to death And you might not understand But just go the way you're lead you’ll see that there is a plan a path that you gotta tread the journey of a young man to become One in the end I speak to the wind and the trees respond Oo ooh oooooh I speak to the birds and they chirp and humm Oo ooh oooooh I speak to the sea which I'm walking on Oo ooh oooooh I speak to God and He says be One Oo ooh oooooh I was made in abyss Brought up to the surface writing along the way To fulfill a poetic purpose i’m breaking every box to show you that they are worthless don’t let people define you don’t let your mind confine you focus on what’s inside you all of the lies they blind you only the Light can find you Only the Truth is right fuel for your soul so what is the Truth? can you define it? do you have an image to help me find it? the Truth is the Truth no perfect way to write it always speaking to ya the spiritual Light is the Spirit of God the Spirit of Christ, can you recognize it calling you to become One I speak to the wind and the trees respond Oo ooh oooooh I speak to the birds and they chirp and humm Oo ooh oooooh I speak to the sea which I'm walking on Oo ooh oooooh I speak to God and He says be One Oo ooh oooooh I speak to the wind and the trees respond Oo ooh oooooh I speak to the birds and they chirp and humm Oo ooh oooooh I speak to the sea which I'm walking on Oo ooh oooooh I speak to God and He says be One Oo ooh oooooh

15. what i’ve seen [prod. Manestoo] You don’t know what I have seen You don’t know what I have seen Put it in these melodies I just want you to see it Because I’ve received revelations and dreams Visions, epiphanies Awakened the many pages Containing the prophecies And I’ve been patiently waiting To put it all on a beat been facing the many demons Been shaking inside my sheets I have seen the face of darkness Chasing after my feet The slithering serpent From Genesis chapter 3 Deceiving Adam and Eve The venom is in it’s teeth Deception is what he breathes And even until this day History seems to repeat But I do not believe Just because of what I read Just because somebody preached But I speak what I have seen What i have experienced For myself, what I bleed I put it onto the screen Nobody taught my belief I don’t parrot other people I tweet from a different tree I drink from a different stream I am living in the world But I am a different breed A different mentality You don’t know what I have seen You don’t know what I have seen Put it in these melodies I just want you to see it Because I have seen The Light of God that’s in man I’ve been to the center Soul There’s so much to understand There’s so much that isn’t told So much misinterpreted There is so much that gets lost Because of our religion But God’s not in the box The Light is in the children The Light of God that was dead The Light of God resurrect And said we would do the same by following in His steps Put crosses into our hands And said to follow the Way I AM in order to live First you gotta face the death Everything is gonna die But when did your inner kid? In Innocence you arrived but trauma’s inflicted Inducing the separation Producing a sick head A sick soul inside a body, everybody’s sick bed And the sickness is the fear that leads to the hatred So walk back to the beginning To kill the inner division That’s been keeping you from being United with the Divinity You don’t know what I have seen You don’t know what I have seen Put it in these melodies I just want you to see it

12. Resurrection [prod. schiavs] (Tomb opening) (Angels singing) (Hums) Look at my scars I put in the work Look at my heart What have you heard? My fight against dark I put it in words this is the part where heroes emerge when facing death we see so clearly all that is, was, and will be Love is the only Love can you show me Love how to Love how to see not to judge so easily quick to listen slow to speak out of touch and out of reach wake me up to reality strip away the lies i believe through the forest the path i lead expose my heart and let it bleed (Hums) Look at my scars I put in the work Look at my heart What have you heard? My fight against dark I put it in words this is the part where heroes emerge when facing death we see so clearly all that is, was, and will be Love is the only Love can you show me Love The mysteries will be revealed To those who seek and thirst for Truth The ones who need to know No matter what it costs or what they’ll lose Cause what they gain’s Eternal Fruit And all the pain is Wisdom’s bruise They learn to Love, which is the proof They walked the path, in their own shoes Look at my scars I put in the work Look at my heart What have you heard? (Love) My fight against dark I put it in words this is the part where heroes emerge (Love, Love) Emerged from the darkness Crown on my head Was made of thorns Became gold when I bled Walked with my cross Til I’m covered in red Had to die first Before I could ascend Resurrection He said follow Him Resurrection I was dead now I live

0. Growth [prod. Homage] (Tape clicks) (Hey, it’s Kennedy… I just wanted to talk to you more about the Walk, Because these last few years, I’ve, I’ve been through a lot, I’ve learned a lot, I’ve seen a lot, And I’ve grown a lot, And I wanna tell you about…how i got here) I gotta practice Put in the work not just be yappin Don’t just wanna chirp wanna be flappin My wings like a bird When I am rappin Or I’m singin a verse Cause I wanna get better I don’t wanna get worse But hours and days Are what talent really thirsts for looking in the past i didn’t know what i searched for broken down and empty depersonalized, heart torn started writing notes inside of my first dorm four years ago i lived on the fourth floor in order to cope poetry became the norm writing what i felt in what was my worst form (What’s wrong with me?) writing in my notes but wrote on my phone more pages were a home to help me get through the storm vessels on a screen is where my heart has been poured rapping as i write i started an art form rappin in my head but didn’t know what for did this for a while so let me hit fast forward (Click) (Fast forward) (Click) a couple years later i was searching for the Truth writing’s therapy but only covers up the bruise i had a little skill but i was lacking a use I can string together words in a rhythm or blues i can brag about bars as I’m spitting a few but if the words lack meaning then they’re just like a tomb dead and empty inside there’s no bloom So what kind of message am i giving the youth? Then i met Jesus Christ not in church or a group but when i was alone He showed up in my room (Woah) and then i understood got clarity in my view to take what i’ve been given and to step into the booth understood the reason that i had this art stored i was singing out my song and playing my heart’s chord but rapping to myself isn’t just who this is for so i got a beat, GarageBand and i just hit record made a few songs with what i had on board then i got a real mic as i got more absorbed entered in a realm i had never explored started pumping out music but still wasn’t well informed i’ve got a lot of songs of all my lessons and more tracking ups and downs last two years have been a war I even got lost writing songs that were forced trying to fit into a box cause i feared people’s thoughts traded authenticity in order to conform and somewhere along the line making music became a chore slowly learning how to edit and learning how to perform i got tired of it all i didn’t wanna put forth the effort it would take to move up in the course felt like i should quit deleted my exports then re-uploaded it after seeing it’s importance and so i came back with more lines to record and now i know for sure it’s something i can’t ignore I’ve got a mission here the reason that i was born so i hack with an axe cause I’m breaking down the doors I’m learning every day how to forge a sharper sword train my ears and vocals more treat the sounds with panel boards use the software, smelt the ore of the vocals i record then hammer it into form With equipment I upgraded as my knowledge, it matured Got an iMac, 8-core Logic Pro, I paid for Emptied out all of my pockets to invest in faith boy This is what I’m made for Plant a couple of these seeds pair it with a rain storm give me a couple of seasons And i’ll grow a page farm doesn’t matter where if it’s desert or a rain forest growing with my music And evolving as i paint more walking out my story and my bedroom is a stage for it Growth (Forest footsteps) (Tape clicks)

Delariva Beats] Angels Demons Exist in Hearts beating One wins or’s Defeated I hear the darkness breathing Ancient news, but have you heard Angels, demons walk the earth look like humans, he or her So which are you? snake or a bird?

real bonds [prod. Origami] I got a couple friends They know who they are They do not pretend We’ve got similar scars Cause we have all been Deep inside the dark And until the end I will cherish these bonds Up on the surface is where most people float But I found true bonds way underneath the boat Fighting against sharks inside of the monsters home Cause it does gets pretty dark the deeper that you go But the deeper that you’ve been the deeper that you connect with That’s why they are my friends cause they get what I have said When you’ve been to hell and back you tend to lack the fakeness definition of real is that you can never fake this But how many people are willing to show their faces? The shallow surface is the mask’s favorite place and Too many people are forcing fake friendships They hangout and talk, but never knew a connection Focused on their image and so they just keep pretending Gossip bout each other the moment that they do exit Politics in your posse just probably means your next in Line to be backstabbed by your “best friend” Real bonds form not because of blood Real bonds not who you party with Real bonds not who you’ve known longest Real bonds are connecting with I got a couple friends They know who they are They do not pretend We’ve got similar scars Cause we have all been Deep inside the dark And until the end I will cherish these bonds An authentic relationship That connects to the soul What’s rarer than that? Not even diamonds or gold Could ever be a match Couldn’t even come close Even though we don’t talk often And we see each other less But I rise from my coffin Whenever I see their text Or we’re talking on the phone When I can hear their breath (hey bro) But seeing them in person Is definitely the best Cause I hear Truth in their voice And I see Light in their eyes There is no mask or disguise Saying yeah I’m fine They share with me their soul And so i go and share mine And we love each other man Through rain or the sunshine Whatever season we’re in These are friends of mine I got a couple friends They know who they are They do not pretend We’ve got similar scars Cause we have all been Deep inside the dark And until the end I will cherish these bonds Real bonds form not because of blood Real bonds not who you party with Real bonds not who you’ve known longest Real bonds are connecting with I got a couple friends They know who they are They do not pretend We’ve got similar scars Cause we have all been Deep inside the dark And until the end I will cherish these bonds These connections Because bonds are truly precious When they’re real
