You know why I had to go Because these second thoughts fell out the window And all I wanted was for you to keep your word And the biggest mistake of it all Was to put my faith in these kinds of people It's getting old and I know you'll never change Because its been so long with all my time And I've done the same thing a fucking hundred times If your all just here to waste my time Then I'm never coming back So can you be honest Am I stuck in this part of the town Where they didn't want us So can you be honest am I part of the ground and cement where they all stepped on us This city's too God damn small There's no room to escape from these ignorant people The only one you can rely on is yourself It feels like I came so far But these past five years have been a fucking nightmare I know I'm just a hollow shell of what I once was Because it's been so long with all my time And I've done the same thing a fucking hundred times And if this worlds too proud to make things right Than I'm never coming back So can you be honest am I stuck in this part of the town where they didn't want us So can you be honest am I part of the ground and cement where they all stepped on us It's been so long I feel too old to be this young So can you be honest am I stuck in this part of the town where they just don't want us So can you be honest am I part of the ground and cement where they all stepped on us So can you be honest why am I stuck in this part of the town where they all forgot us So man up and be honest why does it feel this part of ourselves was just taken from us?

I'm not screwed up or useless or nearly this stupid So why can't I just find some better solutions to this Don't single me out and untangle my threads Cause I can't be put back together again I'm just a step until I'm hanging off the edge I feel more at home beside my concrete bed You always get through my head the lies through your teeth are as real as it gets Because there's no communication You haven't listened to a single word I've said I can't escape all this frustration And I can't force myself to play a part of this Can't bury my flaws Or focus my rage On something productive to get through the day These holes in my chest Just should not exist You single me out cause I'm not like the rest I get the point I'm wrong you think you're always right But you are not the one who doesn't sleep at night How impatient I am I can barely stand in this hole that you put me in Because there's no communication All my life I've been caught up in your web The constant lack of motivation and I can't force myself to play a part of this Save Yourself I found comfort keeping distance You'll never know what's really running through my head There's no joy in isolation But it's better than your empty promises Every step I take is always by myself I did everything without your fucking help I am who I am rather be by myself than let the wrong person in Because there's no communication You haven't listened to a fucking word I've said I can't escape all this frustration And I can't force myself to play a part of this Because there's no communication All my life I've been caught up in your web The constant lack of motivation The only thing left to do is separate Separate Separate

It's such a shame how modern life's become this protest I never claimed to love a place where I felt hopeless I used to choke at the thought of your false promise But I refuse to take abuse from the dishonest Cause that's how you play Doesn't mean that we're the same I won't let you have your way One day you will know where I came from One of these tired days You'll run out of luck And you'll look at all you've done And see who you've become And you won't think the same Because your eyes were shut I might hate everything But I still get back up How do we escape from the pain that keep our brains distorted I never claimed to love a place that I was forced in I wrote the lines and chose the cast to my own story I'll never wait for someone else to make my mind up for me I don't care what you say Somewhere I'm crawling out of my grave I'm aware of past mistakes I'm too strong, too tough to lose One of these tired days You'll run out of luck And look at all you've done And see who you've become And you won't think the same Because your eyes were shut I might hate everything But I still get back up Sometimes it's better not to bitch and argue But most days you really have to Just remember all the shit you've gone through Don't let them get the best of you And anythings better than being hopeless Just don't follow any script they wrote us I have a hundred reasons why you should focus You won't know until you try One of these days I'll be enough One of these days I'll be enough I'll make something out of nothing One of these tired days you'll run out of luck And you'll look at all you've done And see who you've become And you won't think the same because your eyes were shut I might hate everything But I still get back up Sometimes it's better not to bitch and argue But most days you really have to Just remember all the shit you've gone through Don't let them get the best of you Anythings better than being hopeless Just don't follow any script they wrote us I have a hundred reasons why you should focus You won't know until you try I'll make something, out of nothing

One day when I make an escape I know I won't regret What I had to do To get to where I am All this fucked up shit Burn holes inside my head I just don't care anymore And nothing makes much sense Every moment that I wanted to break My feet were on the ground Every thing I create Slowly destroyed itself I fucking paid my dues. Don't owe you anything Try walking in my shoes Before you give up on me I'm looking through these double windows At the ghost of an old reflection. It's like a stain hanging onto the glass For a second I feel at home I hate how life leaves you cold and empty It's so hard not to feel exhausted I know the world isn't out to get me I just don't know why you're so selfish Every moment that I wanted to break my feet were on the ground Everything I create Slowly destroyed itself Why do I hate so much Why do I feel so numb If you're fucking up your life You're not the only one I fucking paid my dues Don't owe you anything Try walking in my shoes Before you give up on me
