Ive spent hours trapped inside my head
Trying to figure out just why you left and
let this patience turn to bitterness
Blind love is difficult in your defence
So face your every mistake
You know you can’t run from the past now there is no escape
Bend and break the promise you made
Thats not a father. It’s just spineless apathy
Its just spineless apathy
I’ve lost faith in the words you spray,
Don’t act like a fucking saint
You ain’t no saving grace
and lately all I can think about
Is this broken home, that girls daddy’s gone
and your bullshit filling her with false hope
So let my dreams dance in shallow graves
While mend all you should have saved
I’m so tired of being scared
In time I’ve learned life is all but fair

Your body aches at 3am, we hadn't slept yet,
our dreams sought more than a head rest,
yet all our crooked friends open their hearts and their homes to us saying "take what you need, here's a place you can sleep. Now we both start work at dawn but that's no reason to leave."
I've felt the threat of void contempt and
I'd rather burn that bridge, than lose my friends
With no urge to make amends
Toe to toe, we dance, the plot thickens.
You've been stretched, paper thin
Like a candle burning at both ends
But from the start, to the bitter end
You've had my back through all of this.
The fistful of friends that hold us second to none
Have been our backbone since day one
Satellites fam ain't nothin to fuck with

Another day slips away, suffocates the flame
I do all i can to keep my head straight
Second guess and lay awake
So scared i've made another mistake
2 dead end jobs, a white picket fence
A slew of blazoned words, "That's just the way it is."
We're just pawns in a losing game
This might be your dream but we're not the same
This doubt is like the Devil living on my back
Show ambition, get showered with regret
Pull the thread and let it come undone
Watch the pins fall 1 by 1
This doubt is just a product of the nerve I lacked
The second guessing, like a rope around my neck
Pull the thread and let it come undone
Watch the pins fall 1 by 1
Well adept at the vapid grind
The bleak self doubt wells up inside
My heart says pull the trigger, cut and run
Instead I fight this war inside my head
I'm falling faster now
Into a sea of doubt
The weight is crashing down
I won't let you watch me drown

Strip back this canvas and start it again
I've lost sight of myself between beginning and end
A write off on lost cause, nursing a glass jaw, searching for hope to start this again
I’ve been caught in wars of back and forth that I never should have fought
Between head and heart from where I started off
I watched you crawl inside these walls but I never would have thought that you'd want me six foot underneath
Fuck your opinion, my ambition's dead
I'm fuelled by the fire that you lit in my head
Ive sold my soul, or so the story goes
With the wind at my back and the world at my toes
So can you tell me this?
Do you live your life or do you just exist?
And If you knew true happiness you would know it's no ones place to tell you how to live
Stop wasting time and fall in line
Imitating societies flawless design
You’ve got your views and I’ve got mine
Keep your blessing quelled ill be just fine

I feel no shame admitting that I'm petrified of the world I'll leave behind
A futureless tomorrow burning in my unborn children's eye
And I can't help but think the weight of all this is somehow mine to bear
The fact you think it's not your problem seals it's disrepair
You can't tell me that this all means nothing
Ignorance is bliss until you're 6ft underneath
Still alive though only just enough to smile through gritted teeth
You can't tell me that this all means nothing
They say "Lighten up, you only get one chance to live before you're gone, why would you care that it's wrong"
OK, hear me out.
Where's the harm in giving a fuck about the world that you'll leave for the ones that you love?
I'd rather be a fool that spoke his mind than a gutless fucking coward, too scared to pick a side
I'd rather be a fool that spoke his mind than a gutless fucking coward, a "Man" without a spine

Do you think for yourself?
or are the words you're re-spewing reflective of somebody else?
Why bestow the views of hateful fools that hold all but an ounce of truth?
Why do we insist on pulling others down
It's hard enough to see the sun when your head's caught in the clouds
As if to build a castle brick by brick isn't as profound as someone taking pleasure in it burning to the ground
I know that life is shrouded by a bitterness sweet
But to push the pain on others is so fucking weak
"Misery loves company" as Johnny Ray would say
and I can attest to that, because I used to be the same
Why do you pull me down?
As if I meant nothing to you
You saw me break down
You made me feel like nothing
And I know that I've changed
I'm miserable at best
But I can't believe what you've become
I never would've guessed
