[00:11.90] Verse 1
[00:12.84] Yea I turned 21 in prison locked up at night
[00:16.29] Now I walk around free seems like another life
[00:18.93] Another roll with some other dice
[00:21.12] Another ho or a loving wife
[00:23.11] People come and go some really you never know
[00:25.60] Intellectual midgets that really never grow
[00:28.23] Fake love that holds on like "can I hold you though?"
[00:31.02] And old friends will look at you like "yo, yea, I told you so"
[00:33.76] A toast to the broken hearted
[00:35.20] Who never finished what they fuckin started
[00:37.20] People who go out and try to be a rebel at night
[00:40.05] Try to make up for the fact that they settled in life
[00:42.69] It's like a fight between the devil & Christ over the limelight
[00:45.72] Spiritual celebrity poker
[00:47.52] But the whole deck is full of jokers
[00:49.36] And every year that you get older
[00:51.26] The stakes get higher
[00:52.50] Gambling with a bunch of fakes and liars
[00:54.94] Real talk cause the real New York
[00:56.78] Is the pain and the suffering of lost love
[00:59.18] Staring off into the distance in the midst of the club
[01:02.07] Depression and emptiness that lead to suicide
[01:04.55] And the struggle inside of yourself that keeps you alive
[01:07.34] Survived and medicated stalked by sobriety
[01:10.04] The life that you live now tortured by memories violently
[01:12.58] I pray inside of me that one day you could be forgiven
[01:15.11] For murdering the beautiful world we used to live in
[01:17.80] Hook x2
[01:18.00] Crimes of the heart
[01:37.83] Verse 2
[01:38.22] Love, doesn't need a complicated metaphor
[01:42.31] And sometimes nothin' needs to be said at all
[01:45.00] Sometimes a person you're with is not your one and only
[01:47.54] And you just fuck with them because you afraid to be lonely
[01:50.33] And when you come back its too late
[01:52.17] So you overcompensate, like victims of rape, full of self-hate
[01:55.61] Lost in the affection to strangers around you
[01:57.95] Instead of the only person that ever gave a fuck about you
[02:01.04] Thought you were happy so you didn't come check me
[02:03.48] But then when he cheated or treated you incorrectly
[02:06.06] You conveniently realized you could never forget me
[02:08.75] And tried to crawl back in my life unexpectedly
[02:11.55] These are my indictments of those who claim to be righteous
[02:14.33] And leave a trail of broken hearts on their way to enlightment
[02:16.92] But I can't give into hatred or pass judgment
[02:19.57] Even towards every illusion I've been in love with
[02:22.35] Cause the heart that betrays itself willingly
[02:24.99] Is like a nation that trades freedom for stability
[02:27.63] It's so seductive to be cold and corrupted
[02:30.02] And isolated and try to be an independent republic
[02:32.97] But liberty to be loved on the surface is worthless
[02:35.90] The sacrifice of revolution with no purpose
[02:38.34] Take it from a criminal searching for his redemption
[02:41.03] Cursing at God desperately trying to get his attention
[02:43.63] Hook x2
[02:43.88] Crimes of the heart
[03:03.96] Bridge
[03:08.94] Looking for the shining light
[03:11.63] Who's it gonna be
[03:13.93] Who'll walk the line with me tonight
[03:16.86] Round we go, won't cross
[03:19.59] Climbing through the endless night
[03:22.19] Who's it gonna be
[03:24.38] Who'll walk the line with me this time
[03:31.75] Climbing through the endless night
[04:00.29] Hook
[04:01.39] Crimes of the heart

[06:13.97] The bitch-made gets switchblades in every arm
[06:16.76] And this way we ix-nay on any harm
[06:19.56] Cause snakes play and fakes lay like hidden bombs
