lyrics
I took the path made by dumb fucks; the treacherous way. I fought against easy comfort and punched myself in the face. Resist with fists was my modus. Wallowed and skipped in my own shit. Robbed of my bliss, feeling aimless, I became so shameless. I really grew to love it. Feeling grounded was beneath me, I lingered high above it. Withdraw, retract for the impact. Keep it all intact for the kick back. Fight live a brave until the pain stops. Beat myself with rock until I bleed pop. There’s a place in my head that I’ve always been frightened to go. Trauma breeds self-sabotage. Depression is lighting the show. But I’m a man, I’m a beast and I’m sick of hanging out on the fringe. What else can I do? It’s time to face the cringe.
