Lyrics Last Words - ICE NINE KILLS

Here goes the story of a kid we thought we knew (we thought we knew)
He hid a hate inside and had a state of mind
That put him in his grave
It began with his friends
They never noticed the despair in his eyes
From the pressure (from the pressure)
His life was etched in stone
Before he made a choice of his own

And he's dedicated
For every day that he's made it on his own
In his father's eyes he's a pair of dice
He won't be number one
He won't be number one (one)

So he tries to comply
With everything they've ever asked
And his life is stitched with one-way tickets
To places, he don't want to visit
He says "I'm never gonna be perfect
Maybe I don't deserve his trust
But I'm doing the best I can
I've never dealt with such pressure
Feels like my whole life's etched in stone
Before I've made a choice of my own"

And he's dedicated
For every day that he's made it on his own
In his father eyes he's a pair of dice
He won't be number one
He can't be number one

(So) save your breath 'cause you'll
Need it when you hang from a rope
'Cause of death, obvious from your suicide note
The last words that filled the page
If no one will listen than no one
Will miss me when I'm gone

Across town his dad falls asleep all alone
Never knowing he was never going to come home
The last thoughts that filled his head
I'll tell him I'm sorry I'll
Say I regret what I said
It's your life
I'll live my own life instead

And he's dedicated
For every day that he's made it on his own
In his father's eyes he's a pair of dice
He won't be number one
He can't be the one

His bedrooms filled with emptiness tonight
As the silence cuts through like a knife
Knowing he's not there

And he's dedicated
For every day that he's made it on his own
In his father's eyes he's a pair of dice
He won't be number one

I'm never gonna be perfect, maybe I don't deserve this (deserve this)
He won't be number one
Oh, and the story goes on and on, and no one seems to care
We will let him know we care (we care, we care)
Hang from the rope, he's dead and gone
