about
This One Was Recorded With Evan Nova!!
lyrics
God damn I hate leaving ,Just as much as I always have
If I could take away the part were I began
Maybe I wouldn't start and I wouldn't grow so mad
I didn't think my habits could drag me down that bad
If anybody saw me this way
I would be exposed but less then human, There wouldn't be too much to say
I'd be cornered in the cold
The erie silence would return, I'm getting to old already
Bending over, throwing up, side to side I can't stand up
Right to left they say smart up and grown a brain
Stumbled steps, heavy doors, falling just to meet the floor
We've become so acquainted I could go insane
Because imagery and metaphors could never substitute
Destructive Jealously and slave driving institutes
Physically sabotaged, emotionally drained
One day you'll learn What acting brave can truly convey
It's like the cops are coming through kind of adrenaline
Only there's no way to stop it no matter the agent
But of course the effort continues I mean what can I say?
If you were in hell would anyone really sit and stay?
From hallway to lobby , my head stays ajar
Waiting for some talent sweep me off my heavy feet and take me far
But the kings Queens and there whistles blew astray the whole time
That's how I can tell that life doesn't quite feel right
Well maybe it's so difficult to try to see threw these tired eyes
Maybe learning isn't talent but a hard developed skill
Patience is finding time that you can kill and waste away
I'll understand if you leave, I know I wouldn't stay (hold)
It is much as I want to I can't run away
I have to fight the fears and issues that restrain me everyday
But the pain you don't get used to no it's corrosive it will make you stay
A Point of view can be stated but not explained
The shackles of depression haven't ceased to manifest
And The little time I'm sleeping I can't seem to get some rest
The Shaking never stops and of course i never feed
I'm hungry and weak No matter how much I eat
Why are we taught to self loathe even in our sleep
Our Heroes are full of hate and our teachers full of greed
Looks like the line is getting pretty long
To hear the truth of were we rely all went wrong
If I could take away the part were I began
Maybe I wouldn't start and I wouldn't grow so mad
I didn't think my habits could drag me down that bad
If anybody saw me this way
I would be exposed but less then human, There wouldn't be too much to say
I'd be cornered in the cold
The erie silence would return, I'm getting to old already
Bending over, throwing up, side to side I can't stand up
Right to left they say smart up and grown a brain
Stumbled steps, heavy doors, falling just to meet the floor
We've become so acquainted I could go insane
Because imagery and metaphors could never substitute
Destructive Jealously and slave driving institutes
Physically sabotaged, emotionally drained
One day you'll learn What acting brave can truly convey
It's like the cops are coming through kind of adrenaline
