Save Yourself

(альбом: Talk Shit Get Kissed - 2018)

Words drop like icicles through my skin
Breaking away at my skeleton
And everyone has to pretend to be tough
Living through the life of hard knocks, they can't get enough
And since I've become numb to the indoctrination
We've become too aggressive with our expectations

Since when were we only meant to see the glass as half empty, When we'd rather see it half full?

Fuck you pessimist

Let down by the weight of everyone's judgment
You can feel it crushing down on your spirit

Painted in an optical illusion
We seek past the lifespan of our peers
Retribution-guided retaliation
Met by a world of contempt
It draws out our fears

Lest we stand in opposition
Confronting the contaminated
Stung by the knife of their lies
Our wounds may be full
But we still know that we will rise

People have their problems but they know that
We will never be the one to satisfy the hunger
Of the misguided feelings that some of them decide to vent onto the world for the rest of us to deal with

We will never be caught with that shit
No, we'll never be caught with that shit

I can't save you
Only you can save yourself
