A
Albatross
An albatross around my neck
Doing its best to way me down
And it’s not getting any lighter
Every time I see that face
It’s another cross to bear
And I’m just not coping any better
I feel like I’m on trial-Who’s next to cross examine?
Our friends are choosing sides-There’s nothing I can do
I’m feeling the cold shoulder- And when I try to explain
It doesn’t matter what I say because no one listens an way
It’s true that time heals all wounds
But leaves some ugly scars
And nothing feels right anymore
Whenever I see you
I just don’t know what to do
How can so much fade away?
All for Nothing
Waste my time waste my life
What am I doing? What’s it all for?
Tell me what to do, and how to do it.
Force me to fit, make up my mind
Strip my pride leave me no choice
You can’t see past your swollen ego
The race is run
Your minds made up
You gotta keep me on
Puppet strings
All for nothing one big lie
But you’ll hold on
Until the end
Run me down twist the truth
Forbid anyone to live for themselves
Feed me full of your shit
Choke on your own lies it’s a bitter taste
I’ve got my own head so fuck off
Go rape someone else’s personality
The race is run
Your minds made up
You gotta keep me on
Puppet strings
All for nothing one big lie
But you’ll hold on
Until the end
The race is run
Your minds made up
You gotta keep me on
Puppet strings
All for nothing one big lie
But you’ll hold on
Until the end
Be A Man (And Slam!)
Now I’m here slamming’s a must
Going to stamp my feet and raise some dust
Flail my arms in the air
Head towards the guy with spikey hair
Now I’m getting real low
Gonna hit you hard before you know
I know these guys are judging me
And I wish, I wish I could be free
But in this scene only the strong survive
So I’ll do my best to survive
Don’t you dare bump into me
It’ll end in blood can’t you see
No complaints just play the game
Because it’ll always be the same
Whip back my elbow real hard
Think about the clubs from which I’m barred
Kick in the air full of glee
Because steel toed boots are protecting me
It this pit, no girls allowed
Its reserve for strong mean and proud
I know these guys are judging me
And I wish, I wish I could be free
But in this scene only the strong survive
So I’ll do my best to survive
Don’t you dare bump into me
It’ll end in blood can’t you see
No complaints just play the game
Because it’ll always be this way
Here’s the mosh and the pits gone wild
I maybe young, but here I’m no child
Time to take off my shirt and be a man
Gonna act as hard, as hard as I can
Poor little sucker got in my way
Now the ambulance has to take him away
