EP: SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM (PART ONE) (2024)












THE RECKONING lyrics - Daughtry

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

Enough is enough
Enough is enough
I'ma pull the trigger

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

For every waking hour and every 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

Enough is enough
Enough is enough
I'ma pull the trigger

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

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

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

Enough is enough
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
I'ma pull the trigger

ARTIFICIAL lyrics - Daughtry

Artificial

No blood in the veins
Built to feel without the pain
Circuits for the brain
Wide awake
A vision of perfection, no lies
Just bitter resurrection, disguise
Just another lethal injection
To mankind

Welcome to your worst nightmare
The days are getting dark, you should be scared
It doesn't have a heart
Plug into the new you, don't resist
'Cause it's no use, it's no use
It's digital warfare
The death of who we are is right here
It's never gonna stop
Plug into your new soul, ice cold
Mechanical, artificial

No love, no embrace
Something's wrong and outta place
A soulless masquerade
A disgrace
No sickness, no dying, no disease
No begging for mercy, on your knees
No god, no religion
No beliefs

Welcome to your worst nightmare
The days are getting dark, you should be scared
It doesn't have a heart
Plug into the new you, don't resist
'Cause it's no use, it's no use
It's digital warfare
The death of who we are is right here
It's never gonna stop
Plug into your new soul, ice cold
Mechanical, artificial

No sickness, no dying, no disease
No begging for mercy, on your knees
No god, no religion
No beliefs

No belief
No belief

Welcome to your worst nightmare
The days are getting dark, you should be scared
It doesn't have a heart
Plug into the new you, don't resist
'Cause it's no use, no use
It's digital warfare
The death of who we are is right here
It's never gonna stop
Plug into your new soul, ice cold
Mechanical, artificial

No sickness, no dying, no disease
No begging for mercy, on your knees
Plug into your new soul, ice cold
Mechanical, artificial

PIECES lyrics - Daughtry

You never know what lies beneath the surface
And what you'll find and if it's worth it
Losing ground, I'm getting nervous
There's only so much I can control, oh

Even with the cracks in the mirror
My reflection's getting clearer
And I'm trying to cope, at the end of my rope
While I'm doing the best that I can

To live with the broken pieces of me
That were shattered, can't stop the bleeding
I'll never get over it, it's hard to move on
But I'm learning to live
With the pieces of me
Pieces of me

You never know who's coming for you
Into the storm without a warning
Like the cold of the mourning
Oh, how it cuts straight to the bone

It is the silence in the battle
When I'm afraid of my own shadow
When I'm reaching for hope, at the end of my rope
Well, I'm doing the best that I can

To live with the broken pieces of me
That were shattered, can't stop the bleeding
I'll never get over it, it's hard to move on
But I'm learning to live
With the pieces of me
Pieces of me

I can't change the past and I need to let go
Learning to live with this hole in my soul
Losing grip and I'm just trying to cope
Well, I'm doing the best that I can
Well, I'm learning
I'm learning
Oh, I'm learning
I'm learning, well, I'm learning

To live with the broken pieces of me
That were shattered, can't stop the bleeding
I'll never get over it, it's hard to move on
But I'm learning to live
With the broken pieces of me
That were shattered, can't hide the feeling
I'll never get over it, it's hard to move on
But I'm learning to live
With the pieces of me (Pieces of me)
Pieces of me (Pieces of me)
With the pieces of me (Pieces of me)
Pieces of me

SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM lyrics - Daughtry

Always been such a creature of habit
I try to quit, but I keep coming back like an addict
My body's numb, I'm paralyzed
Feels like I'm dead on the inside
And I can't seem to find the light

I'm looking for a way out now
Looking for a higher ground
I wanna feel something different
Adrenaline gone ballistic
There's nothing like a shock to the system
So I'm looking for something to bring me back to life
To feel good to feel alive

I don't know how it all got started
I'm out in space, but I'm running in place
Cold-hearted and guarded
I'm bleeding out, I need escape
Hard not to feel the weight
When gravity has its way

I'm looking for a way out now
Looking for a higher ground
I wanna feel something different
Adrenaline gone ballistic
There's nothing like a shock to the system
So I'm looking for something to bring me back to life
To feel good to feel alive

I'm looking for a way out now
Looking for a higher ground
I wanna feel something different
Adrenaline gone ballistic
There's nothing like a shock to the system
Oh, there's nothing like a shock to the system

Looking for a way out now
Looking for a higher ground
I wanna feel something different
I wanna feel something different
Shock to the system
So I'm looking for something to bring me back to life
To feel good to feel alive

NERVOUS lyrics - Daughtry

Why am I so nervous?
Why am I so numb?

After all this time I should feel better now
Trying to get above the noise that drowns me out
Skin is crawling, hands are shaking
Can't breathe, my heart is racing
Feels like my shadow's chasing me

Why am I so nervous? Why am I so numb?
Trying to find my purpose, am I the only one?
Why am I so anxious? Why am I so stuck?
I'm just being honest 'cause everything is fucked
Why am I so nervous?

Every moment feels like I'm under attack
Waiting for the worst to stab me in the back
Blood is racing through my veins
I'm waiting for my world to change
Before it changes me

Why am I so nervous? Why am I so numb?
Trying to find my purpose, am I the only one?
Why am I so anxious? Why am I so stuck?
I'm just being honest, 'cause everything is fucked

Everything is upside down and out of reach
Nothing is what it seems
Will I ever be the same?
No, I'll never be the same

Why am I so nervous? Why am I so numb?
Trying to find my purpose, am I the only one?
Why am I so anxious? Why am I so stuck?
I'm just being honest, 'cause everything is
Everything is fucked

Why am I so nervous?
Why am I so nervous?

THE DAM lyrics - Daughtry

Chaos inside
And everywhere I hide
It never stops the hurting (The hurting)
Caught in the riptide
I'm struggling to fight
Underneath the current (Current, current)

I think the sky is falling
Looks like the walls are crumbling
Feels like the end is coming (Coming, coming)
I see the water rising
Just like a wave of pressure building up
It's building up on me

The dam's about to break
I'm standing on the brink
It's washing me away
The damage is done, here comes the flood
'Cause the dam's about to break

Levees on my mind
What's on the other side
Is bound to breach the surface
Calamity inside
With nothing left behind
In the wake of the resurgence
I feel the doom impending
The ground underneath me shaking
I can see my world upending

The dam's about to break (I'm never getting out alive)
I'm standing on the brink (Not ready for the afterlife)
It's washing me away (I'll see you on the other side)
The damage is done, here comes the flood
'Cause the dam's about to break

Hatred is breeding, the vultures are feeding
It's taking a turn for the worst
Can't keep pretending, can't change the ending
And everything's buried underneath

The dam's about to break (I'm never getting out alive)
I'm standing on the brink (Not ready for the afterlife)
It's washing me away (I'll see you on the other side)
The damage is done, here comes the flood
'Cause the dam's about to break
