There are no saviors in this place

Some of us came from hell and you wanna say
That you think we all started the same
But I know the truth, you're just afraid
To admit that you ain't winnin' this game

Man, you lucky as hell that you didn't start this way
Living in fear, there's no time to plan escape
Too busy surviving, when the target is your face
Too busy just dodging, man, you gotta learn to sway

You got that safety net, so if you make mistakes
You can just reset and try again another day
But midnight, middle of winter streets don't play
Ain't no one callin' you to see if you're okay

And that's all assumin' we even make it to the streets
That's just assuming that we had enough to eat
That's assuming your father didn't hit you so hard you
Just quit breathin cause your brain drowned in its skull bleedin'

Honestly some of our saving grace
Was that trailer walls bounce and drywall caves
Cause some of our fathers just went insane
Drinking themselves away because they couldn't escape

And some of our mothers couldn't bare the pain
So their eyes glazed over as they slipped away
The gods down here don't f*ck with fate
Not with devils on the corners selling cheap escape

There are no saviors in this place
There are no sinners, only pain

A lotta windows around here are broken or cracked
A lotta dirty mirrors make it hard to see yourself smile back
But the streetlights at midnight make it easier to see
Yourself reflecting in puddles in the lonely streets

And sometimes in the nighttime you're your only company
So you better be happy with who the f*ck you see
Cause when your only company is your biggest enemy
You only breed calamity for your fucking destiny

If you're ever gonna escape this, you need to find your greatness
Need to find your will to walk through fire, face down the fuckers that
try to deny ya
Go ahead and sell your soul if you can find a buyer

Cause the only thing worth selling is what you created inside ya
The only life worth living is the one that defines ya
Show the whole world who the f*ck you are
And shut down every motherfuckin' liar
There are no saviors in this place
There are no sinners, only pain
