Sink Or Swim

Sink or swim? I'm already drowning

Smile or die? Shit I'm already frowing

All these fake people in my life telling me they're true

But now they all gone what am i supposed to do?

Really hard dealing with this life shit

When your dad is a little kid and mom doesn't remember what family is

That's why I'm sitting on the floor crying & laughing getting real lit

On some real shit, I'm getting real pissed

How many snakes have i kissed?

How many good moments have i missed?

How am i supposed to tell my kids i love them when i can't even live?

I'm constantly being destroyed and knocked off the edge

Fuck these bitches i won't trust any again

Rise against the universe fight for yourself

Protect your family and fuck everyone else

Sink or swim is what i was raised on

Watching my uncle be shot down in the damn lawn

Dear God you've taken so many of us what did we do wrong?

Why is life so fucked up?

Why am i so careless?

Why do we gotta grow up in the house of our fucked up parents

I really hope i make it

I'm started to lose patience

I'm happy my music is here for when it gets complicated

Before i say anything i need to think twice but i hate it

I was a cool person before my soul burnt and my life faded

Dear Satan can't we just wipe this slate clean?

Why did you turn me so mean?

Why can't i just go back to being me

Maybe hell is where i need to be...

This side of MTFD my mom hasn't seen

But walking over seas I'm trying not to sink

I'm trying to get back up on my feet

Not feel defeat and like a piece of shit like usual

10 stabs with 25 bullet holes

Aim the barrel at my temple and pull it slow

Show my true colors and let all these snakes fucking know

I'm gone for good they can quit bitchin

One guy told me to stop with the disses

But Santa please on my wish list

Is to let me run into the wall with my iron fist

Break my hand barley stand hardly see

Took too many drugs now blood is all i can taste

Why do i feel so alone when I'm not the only one in the human race

Its like a big slap to my face to knock some sense into me

Trying to mind my own business so someone doesn't kill me

I'm filthy, fulfill the dreams of a couple sad teens

Help em get through the night

Give em the strength to believe it'll be alright

Maybe for them but maybe not for me

I'm too dark i can't be seen

I can't scream, my nightmares are just dreams

They're not real, that's how it just seems

Lean over could fall off the edge

But i pray to the streets this is my pledge

My goodbye i haven't said yet

But i bet... That's the day everyone would forget

Cause I'm nothing special to the universe

I think I've explained my lack of fucks in every verse

Its like I'm walking in reverse

This isn't my first sure won't be my last

I can't slow down, just pray i don't crash...

Sink or swim is what i gotta do for myself

And when i leave, I'm not taking anyone else
