lyrics
Verse 1
I lived my life through anxiety
To scared to stand up for myself or open up my eyes
They, they finally made a man out of me
That what they said while pushing me torwards the spotlight
Pre chorus
They used up, tore up and threw out what was used to be our home.
So now its our turn to deal with the broken pieces left
Chorus
They never thought of it that way
Every single dime they spent
So they could buy just one more day
It pushed us all towards the end
I cannot figure why
They filled our head with ambition
Saying that we’ll never die
When we were born destined to damnation
Verse 2
All the pressure’s on my generation
They fucked up so bad we’ll only have one chance to make things right
How, how many times did we tell ‘em?
“Steer the ship back the other way so you won’t have to dig your own graves”
Pre chorus
They used up, tore up and threw out what was left of our lives.
So now its our turn to deal with the consequences
Bridge
I must, take on that challenge
I wish I, was not left for dead
Solo vocal
We’ve been dragging this for all too long now, taking the fall for all of their mistakes. How should I know if this is the life I really wanted. They never wanted me to find out. Am I the only one not blinded by greed or fame? And you know what? Im just so sick of it. I won’t be able to stand up above all the challenges ahead. The worst part is, it won’t be their mistake but mine and it’ll be the end of who I am.
