Macbeth - Max McNown

Thousands of miles are adding up inside his heart
He's still playing a game but I'm running out of cards
His queen of hearts is holding on to red in that sunset
As the jokers riding off chasing gold out in the west

The road to hell is paved with good intentions like they said
Our protagonist is just a modern-day Macbeth
No one chooses death but the grave's a guarantee
Who would start a journey headed for a tragedy

Lynchburg, Tennessee, well, it's known for making fire
Mix it with some lonely and you're bound to walk a wire
He had no idea it'd kill him when the whiskey hit his lips
One more shot of Daniels was that dying boy's last wish

The road to hell is paved with good intentions like they said
Our protagonist is just a modern-day Macbeth
No one chooses death but the grave's a guarantee
Who would start a journey headed for a tragedy

Pretty little lies flashing by before her eyes
She stares at them all day wishing that could be her life
Little did they know she would always say I'm fine
Hiding all the heartache up until her last goodbye

The road to hell is paved with good intentions like they said
Our protagonist is just a modern-day Macbeth
No one chooses death but the grave's a guarantee
Who would start a journey headed for a tragedy

Headed for a tragedy
