|
The road to hell was paved with good intentions |
|
That's the path that brought me here |
|
You sell your soul for roles you take |
|
And then you have to look into the mirror |
|
So feed us cancer, give us drugs |
|
Sell us half-ass educations all so we can |
|
Pick a job to pay the rent |
|
Forget your dreams and what they may have meant to you in your youth |
|
Find a bride and raise the kids |
|
Teach them from mistakes that you have made |
|
Are we predestined or just well-trained? |
|
Invent a god and place the blame for all this hurt you feel |
|
And on and so on |
|
It feels sometimes so scripted like your life's out of your hands |
|
A fixed lottery we'll never win |
|
Not everybody wants to be the angry one |
|
To sacrifice and make a change |
|
But everybody wants to find a better way |
|
I search for that for you |
|
These things that you love will leave |
|
We'll bury friends and family |
|
With these lonely feelings |
|
These lonely feelings, |
|
I think of you |
|
In my selfishness |
|
I waste away |
|
Act your age and be a man |
|
With these lonely feelings |
|
These lonely feelings, |
|
I think of you |
|
And I brace myself |
|
And it feels sometimes so scripted like your life's out of your hands |
|
A fixed lottery we'll never win |
|
Not everybody wants to be the angry one |
|
To sacrifice and make a change |
|
But everybody wants to find a better way |
|
I search for that for you |
|
And it breaks my heart to see you do this all by yourself |
|
And I've sworn so many times this year |
|
I'd turn things around |
|
Don't ever let your daughter love a passionate man' |
|
Cause I hate myself for missing all the times |
|
I promised you |
