One Night Timothy McGimpsey Verse 1 In the middle of paradise, I am not satisfied, Without gaining the knowledge that, only sin can provide, If I don’t know the truth then I, must be living a lie, Cause I have just realized, there’s something he’s trying to hide, Why would he let it grow, if he didn’t want me to know, Good and evil, it isn’t equal, Why is it that we want what we can’t have, We want it so bad that we give all that we have, (ooooh) We want what we can’t have, We want it so bad that we give all that we have, (Just for) Chorus One night, we messed around and played out in the dark, We had our fun but then we broke a heart, Tell me who’s to blame, who’s to blame, who’s to blame, We were sinning, let’s be honest who we kidding, Certain fruits are forbidden, Tell me who’s to blame, who’s to blame, who’s to blame, Verse 2 Conversations, turn deadly, Never felt so hungry, until you fed me, I can blame you, because you led me, But I have to blame myself, cause I was ready, Everything inside me, feels to empty, Stripped down by shame I swear I, never felt so guilty, Why is it that we want what we can’t have, We want it so bad that we give all that we have, (ooooh) We want what we can’t have, We want it so bad that we give all that we have, (Just for)

Riches 2 Rags Timothy McGimpsey Intro Everything I ever had, everything I had is gone, Verse 1 Power took me up to the sky, now I’m on a literal high, He gave me, my life, gave me riches that money can’t afford to buy, I heard him say, that I should always keep my eyes on him, But my eyes, lost sight, they couldn’t even hear his advice, (Oh my Lord what have I done) Chorus I went from riches to rags, gave up all I had, I went from riches to rags, gave up all I had, Verse 2 I look into the past and I see, a version of a happier me, I was naïve, I took for granite what it truly meant to be free, If I could go back, it wouldn’t be different I know, Cause I would kill myself, before I sacrifice my soul, Outro Ex royalty nobody will spoil me, spit upon the crown, Well there goes my loyalty, there goes my authority, I am the new minority, Liars loose when they choose to use truth as their priority,

Wretched Man Timothy McGimpsey Intro Forgive me again, Please forgive me again, Verse 1 I just can’t get it right, No matter how hard I try, It’s the night trying to give light, It’s like death trying to give life, If only, there was a way to, break through and be new, Chorus Oh what a wretched man I am, I cannot understand, Why I do what I don’t want to do, Oh what a wretched man I am, I cannot understand, Why I don’t do what I want to do, Verse 2 Will change ever come, can I undo what I’ve just done, What have I become, A living contradiction, If only there was a way to, break through, and undo, Bridge My soul is at war with itself and it’s crying for help, Yeah it’s crying for help, My soul is at war with itself and it’s crying for help, Yeah I dying to self, (oooh)

(Daddy End All The Hurt) Timothy McGimpsey Chorus You gave me life so I’ll and die for you, I can’t live anymore for myself, I know you want all Verse This precious gift that you gave me, I spent my time wasting, Every useless and destructive breath, Adding to my debt of my regret, Daddy end all the hurt, because all I feel is pain all around, I’m not sure what it’s worth but I’m sorry that I let you down,

Heroic Villain Timothy McGimpsey Intro You either die a hero, Or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain, Chorus I’m not a hero; I’m just a villain, Life’s revealing, all that’s hidden, Verse 1 I’ma try to keep it real I feel like Lex Luthor, Disguised as the man of steel, disguised as Clark Kent, Disguised as who he needs to be, Lying to myself so long, feels like I’m burning myself in the sixth degree, Lord knows I need surgery, The heart of man so dark every time it beats it end up hurting me, I need a transplant urgently; I don’t care if you murder me, Just make this evil stop so it won’t torture me so perfectly, I cross my heart and hope to die, Verse 2 With great power comes great responsibility, But what if that responsibility is killing the evil inside of me, I’ve always tried to lie to me instead of trying to die to me, I can’t wait for the day when I can finally, (finally), Rip out my heart and give it to the one that gave it it’s start, Cause only he can heal the hurt, my souls ripped apart, All I want is a fresh new starts, that’s why, I cross my heart and hope to die, Outro Oh how I wish I can change, I was born this way, But I’m not gonna stay this way, anymore, If I must die tonight, so a villain won’t be born, Consider me gone,

Daily Death 03:08

Daily Death Timothy McGimpsey Chorus Everyday there’s a daily death, I begin to see a little light within, I begin to feel a little life within, Verse 1 Moment of silence for this death, As I wait for myself to change I hold my breath, (Gasppp) I pass out and suffocate, Don’t call it suicide, cause it ain’t, I didn’t do it on my own, I had help, I had to kill this perverted version of myself, It’s all lies embodied in this body, I just emptied myself on the floor no longer haughty, The moment of mourning all that I wanted is, The moment I celebrated what I needed, I win when I’m defeated, Yeah, I’ve won when I’m defeated, Verse 2 Will I, Won’t I, Give myself up to the most high, If I keep myself now, I will loose it forever, If I kill myself now, I will have life forever, Truth is, I don’t wanna do it, Truth is, I really wanna do it, Truth is, Subjective due to personal obsession, So which side will answer is the question, Will I unmask and bask in confession or, Will I unmask and bask in confession, I’m covered when I’m exposed, So it’s time to let the world know,

Self Help Timothy McGimpsey Verse 1 Never thought I’d see the day when life pushed me to cut, I had stress upon my mind, and pain up in my gut, Dreams of making it snow so it can rain “In God We Trust”, Yeah in God we trust until fear rises in us, Assalamu Alaikum I’m allergic to bacon, He said, I ain’t got no worries you be looking Caucasian, And with the plans in the making, even the feds couldn’t shake him, With the money we’re making it’s worth the risk you’d be taking, Chorus Lord please help me find a way, I’m slipping, Tell me what’s going on, I’m trying to stay strong, Keep out of all wrong, (ooh) I can’t help myself, I’m always trying, Always trying to help myself, I know that you’re right; You’re all I’ve got left, I’m needing your help, So I don’t screw my life up, Verse 2 He said, I’m turning fives into twenty’s, got a shop and some tools, So Tim are you riding with me, I said my name isn’t Tim, Before I opened my mouth I said I know that I want to, But I ‘ve gotta think about, If I’m ready to go, to leave all that I know, Chasing dreams in the snow, Gambling with my soul, I’ve got a son on the way, why am I thinking this way, In these desperate days I lift my eyes and I pray,

Still Timothy McGimpsey Verse 1 I do not love you like, You would like, Oh yet you still love me, Tell me what love is again, And I will only pretend, To act like I know what you actually mean, I’m surprised that you’re here, now I know that you care, still, How can you stand the pain, of being let down again, I thought you would’ve left by now, Don’t you feel betrayed, oh by the mess I’ve made, You love me, but I just don’t know how, I’m surprised that you’re here, now I know that you care, still, Bridge I’m convinced, that you won’t ever leave me alone, I’m convinced, (Ooh) I’m never on my own, (because) Chorus You still love me, You still love me, You still love me, You still love me, Verse 2 Tell me what it’s like to live a loving life, Knowing love might not be returned, You give all you’ve got, passion blazing hot, But in the end you just got burned, I’m surprised that you’re here, now I know that you care, still, You give me another chance, hoping for true romance, I hope I can give you what you desire, (you deserve so much more) I can say that I love you so, so much that I’ll never go, But we both know when we hear liars, I’m surprised that you’re here, now I know that you care, still,
