lyrics

The wisest of the wise once said, Son, you’re gonna see this world," But he never told me when. They gave me the lock and key that bound him to his place on earth in this black hole of a town. I picture the unfurling roads and those who blazed the trails before, but even they would say, "Son, don’t throw this chance away." I’m reaching out for anything and coming up with less than nothing. Damn those vile pictures of the times that lay ahead. It’s hard to make the best of your time in hell when every corner turned makes you want to run, to burn yourself alive in hopes of finding any sign of real life. They see in black and white and claim I speak in tongues, while your gray eyes smile and that liquid fills your lungs. I collapsed before them. You left me here in pieces to navigate the waters out of soaking bloodshot eyes. But I remember what you said. "Son, never show your fear. They’ll only want what they’ll never have. And when they give you hell, you just give it right back."
