You wrestle yourself to the ground
You springboard and kick yourself in the mouth
'Cause all of that drama, that embarrassed charade
Couldn't stop you or settle you down

So you got back with your black hole
And you don't care who's out there or who knows
'Cause you're spent and you're sad
'Cause you've bronzed it, it's your badge
And you've fixed it to all of your clothes
Every T-shirt and overcoat

So it's with you through hot or cold
But I would tear it from the cloth
Yeah, I would tear it from the cloth
Grow up and knock it off

'Cause there's a world awake outside
With injustice and with music and with July, July
With history's arc, with your family, with art
But it don't mean nothing, not to you, not tonight

'Cause you can't see past the length of your nose
The biggest problems you're sure they're your own
That girl you cut loose, those two friends that cursed you
And all that powder that you can't leave alone

And you say you know, you know, you know

But I know that you don't, you don't, you don't
If you did you'd really try
If you did you'd really try to let all that die

So marry yourself to your work
And crowd your confusion with words
Then round out your life with some boy you might like
While you bury your love in the dirt

'Cause it's endless the ditch you can dig
You're stubborn and you're prideful and you're all over it
So I suggest you make sense of the time you've got left
So you don't end up back where you've been

And you say you won't, you won't, you won't
And I hope that you don't, you don't, you don't
If you mean it then stand up and fight
If you mean it then stand up and fight
I mean it's only your life

I mean it's only your life
To fix or ruin, to figure what to do with
It's only your life
To fix or ruin 'cause no one else is gonna do it
It's only your life
