Why do you work so hard at it?
Why do you clean those scars?
Just let 'em bleed
Just let 'em bleed
Just let 'em bleed
Why do you reach so far?
That scene is a dream and getting there is a nightmare
Just let it be
Just let it be
How could you feel so high?
Damn it, I can't, it just must be a lie
So give it up
So give it up
So give it up
God, it must feel so nice
With hope in your eyes but there'll be a price
So live it up
So live it up

While you can
There's no disappointment from falling if you don't try to stand
That's my plan
I'll sit in the corner and watch all the shots that you thought would land
It's such a pity, isn't it?
You just can't hit what you aim for
And as long as I keep you from trying
Your crying for change will just fuel me to gain more
These are my rules
As long as you're under my roof, you're under my thumb
Isn't it cruel?
This Earth is a curse and it hurts until you become numb
You're just a tool
For me to achieve what I need to seem better than some
I'll raise you to run from everything under the sun
This life is better than none, right?
You should be grateful for all that I gave you
Never mind all that I've taken away
How are you hateful 
When you've got a plateful of steak and potatoes like every day?
I provide what you need
You can't even try to lie to me
I know you better than you know yourself
I know what makes you tick and what makes you bleed

It's a tricky thing when you stick it to the man and he starts to sting back
Gotta spread my wings, in a thicket, got a ticket, gonna bring what I lack
Don't need applause 'cause I feel so raw, gotta place the cause
My time to shine, gonna toe the line 'til I claim what's mine

I'm saying f*ck that
I rode alone on my own path
I wrote a song and it's so drastic
Hone in on your tone like an empath
We get along but you're so plastic
I think I'm strong but I'm so panicked
Wanna belong but I'm so frantic
See what you did to me dad?
And it's too late to take it back
My vision of you just fades to black
Having hard times with the Prozac
Living my life an insomniac
But it's better than without
A go getter but I'm doubtful
I don't quite know how to go about it
I could write a letter give a mouthful
Or I could simply forgive you
That route seems so easy
Gotta admit that I miss you
My hands making fists and I'm throwing but please don't leave me
And you know that I'm terrified
And I'm stoned can't tell a lie
Won't you disown me so I can atone for my sins and start being the bigger guy
But it don't work like that
Gotta combat 'til the hurt falls flat
Not a great match you're a bureaucrat
Gotta cut you off 'til you're crawling back
Now here you are
Got a fear so clear but I'll be a star
Dripping tears through the years, slipping back to your arms
Sipping Jack in my pad, bring it back so far

It's a tricky thing when you stick it to the man and he starts to sting back
Gotta spread my wings, in a thicket, got a ticket, gonna bring what I lack
Don't need applause 'cause I feel so raw, gotta place the cause
My time to shine, gonna toe the line 'til I claim what's mine

It's a tricky thing when you stick it to the man and he starts to sting back
Gotta spread my wings, in a thicket, got a ticket, gonna bring what I lack
Don't need applause 'cause I feel so raw, gotta place the cause
My time to shine, gonna toe the line 'til I claim what's mine
