I'm caught up in the jaws of life
|
What can heal can also tear you up inside
|
Writing down your own anthem
|
You don't like the older one
|
I would stand at attention for less than minimum
|
Wage your own forgotten wars
|
Trade honor for canker sores
|
Ghostly pride with matching tours
|
You're childish without the joy
|
I know that I said I would change
|
I know that I haven't changed
|
A shoulder to lean on and then break/embrace
|
I'm barely breathing with my status day to day
|
Caught off guard by innocence
|
I cross my heart you influences pull you down
|
I swear it's not the fault of mine or of the fault of anyone
|
So tell me what the guilt feels like
|
Are you swallowed in the jaws of life
|
When you strip people down
|
you'll see how they don't need their cover
|
Is it clear and defined when fists from a simple conflict rise
|
And we turn into monsters we thought were once extinct.
|
(I could tell you things to shock you too)
