Life Is Hard Enough

(album: The Things We Carry - 2006)

Ambitions fail, complications hail
All when my insecurities all fucking prevail
Do I turn to a drink or into what I really wanna be?
Is a substance gonna be the crutch that's gonna set me fucking free?

The pressure rises and I feel the strain
The doubt begins and confusions reign
Directionless where do I turn
Don't fail me now the one thing that I've learned

I've learned the strength to fucking push it aside

We know, we know I got the strength inside
You know I got it and I know it so I'll show it
To live, with pain... the choice is in my hands
That's just an anchor that'll drown you man
We know, we know you got the strength inside
To defeat the problems of your life
Without, the "crutch" 'cause we all know life is hard enough as it is
