Cruel Hand

(album: Lock & Key - 2010)

Came into this world a vulture
Fighting for the scraps
Like a dog beat one too many times
You start to bite back
Sink your teeth in the hands of the weak
Vengeance you seek
On those who can't understand your pain
The world will pay

Can you blame him for the way he acts
When he knows his future is as bleak as his past
He would change it if he had the chance
But at his first breath there was no chance left

Not scared in the streets you roam
Fear comes from the home
Wondering where you fit in this world
And lashing out at your own

I can't blame you
For the way you think
I can't blame you

Can you blame him for the way he acts
When he knows his future is as bleak as his past
He would change it if he had the chance
But at his first breath there was no chance left
Can you blame him for the way he thinks
Your life was a pained experience
Sometimes I wish that I could find your rage
Hidden in the roots of this family tree

You've been dealt a cruel hand
