THE RECKONING Lyrics by Daughtry

SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM (PART ONE)

2024

[Verse 1]
This is for the sorrow, this is for the rage
This is for the ghost that lives inside my head telling me to pray
This is for the hurt, this is for the pain
This is for the lies and all the alibis that kept me in a cage

[Pre-Chorus]
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
I'ma pull the trigger

[Chorus]
Fire away and let it reign
This is the reckoning, death to the misery
Wide awake
I'm face to face with the demons inside of me
They won't be the death of me
This is thе day of my reckoning

[Verse 2]
For every waking hour and еvery broken dream
For all the times my hands were tied
The truth has set me free
This is for the heart that makes me feel
This is for the love that makes it real
I never thought I'd make it out alive

[Pre-Chorus]
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
I'ma pull the trigger

[Chorus]
Fire away and let it reign
This is the reckoning, death to the misery
Wide awake
I'm face to face with the demons inside of me
They won't be the death of me
This is the day of my reckoning

[Bridge]
Oh, this is for the heart that makes me feel
This is for the love that makes it real
I never thought I'd make it out alive

[Chorus]
So, fire away and let it reign
This is the reckoning, death to the misery
Wide awake
I'm face to face with the demons inside of me
They won't be the death of me
This is the day of my reckoning

[Outro]
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
I'ma pull the trigger
