Tommy Boy 02:36
So you can't believe your ears // Disappointment in your eyes has eroded me for years, sometimes I feel I'll never get right // Pressures of great expectations hits like a hammer through plastic // The weight, the guilt, the fear of failure leads to hopelessness so tragic // All I wanted was to be what you wanted me to be // Like a first round bust, I stumbled crashed and burned // Many chances I was given, to my // shame I never learned // Decades of my life was spent shell shocked by things I haven't done // Dug a hole so deep, can't see the sun // When will my salvation come? // All I wanted was to be what you wanted me to be // Nobody's as hard on myself as I // I don't need my nose rubbed in my mess // No disrespect to my loved ones but I need some space... // Get the fuck out my face and off my back
2.
Don't you ever for a second let false and harsh judgements dictate who you are // Or what it is you can be or what it is you can do, just make sure and stay true to your heart // Do whatever you please and whatever you love no matter what they fucking say // Whatever they think, man it's not worth your time. // It'll come back their way one day // A life full of hate leads to a sorrowful road therefore you should just be yourself // There was a time in my life when I was obsessive and stuck on those elaborate webs of hate // But I grew older and found the less that I cared, the better the days // True happiness and success, it's not the typical path well traveled // So stick to your guns and never give up // You'll have the last laugh // Never surrender to the haters. // You know they hate us, cause they ain't us
3.
The world is cruel // Everything's unfair // Don't know what to do // You think no one cares // My friends that's no excuse // To give in to despair // I'll tell you what to do PULL YOUR FUCKING SOCKS UP CLENCH YOUR FIST AND THROW BACK WITH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE, EVERY SINGLE HATE YOU'VE EVER FELT. DON'T BE AFRAID TO STAND UP FOR YOURSELF.
4.
There's a snake in my boot // I smell betrayal in the air // You tried to keep me from the truth // You didn't know I was aware // All your missteps and misdirection // Has led me to this grave conclusion // You kept things quiet // But not quiet enough // I'm on to your trail // The game is up // There will be no mercy // So go and reach for the sky // And to think you were worthy // You gave it away with your lie // You thought that you could get away with no pain // But I'm on to your lies and cowardly actions you fool // You're oblivious to the fact that you dug your own grave
5.
So who do you think you are? // Coming into my loving home // It's clear you don't belong // My hate for you fractures my bones // You're a soulless sham of a man // The pain you caused you don't understand // Cause you're an ignorant fuck that deserves to die, I swear if I ever see you again // I won't stop punching til I put your fucking lights out // And I won't stop stomping til I put your fucking lights out // And if I could getaway cleanly // Best believe prick, you'd already be dead // But honestly, that'd be a little too easy // I should let you live instead // Without your feet and a few fingers // And whatever else I know you'd miss // Only a piece of shit as worthless as you could ever make me feel like this // I won't stop punching til I put your fucking lights out // And I won't stop stomping til I put your fucking lights out
6.
There's not much to say // That hasn't been already been said // Be we all need to self medicate // And release what's in our heads // Dealing with loss and tragedy // It doesn't just come naturally // Over time we learn to cope // We all have great hidden strength that we need to find // Every path begins with one step // Now lets set the foundation // One step at a time // Don't ever falter // Keep yourself in line // Keep moving forward // Kill the doubts in your mind // Make sure to look before you leap // You will be fine // Trust you will be // When hope seems lost strangled and stressful // Half the fight is looking within // It takes a special kind of might it seems // But it's something that we all possess // I just want you to know // It never gets easy // Don't leave fate to hope // Don't ever stop fighting // What ever you may face // Come what may, don't ever stop fighting
