At the end it’s not so bad letting go of all you had
Fire in the hole - it’s time to go
Things are tough and getting worse seek the truth expect the worst
Duck and cover - now it’s over
Please don’t fret it’s all ok all the bullshit that they say
Comme C’est la vie - It’s meant to be
If you need I’m here for you but what exactly do they do?
You’re on your own - Prone and alone
From bad to bad and bad to worse
The sweetest pill can’t quell the hurt
Truth is the truth - you’re living proof
Truth
Tragedy your show of shows if it’s all that you’ve ever known
A bleeding heart - tears you apart
Dreaming of a better day save yourself and stay awake
Naivete - the noose of youth
Tending sheep throughout your day won’t help to keep the wolves at bay
You’re left behind - but you’ll be fine
In the end you’re on your own doesn’t matter how you’ve grown
You’re lost and found - ground in the ground
From bad to bad and bad to worse
A bitter pill your just dessert
From bad to bad and bad to worse
Truth is the truth - you’re living proof
Truth
Empathy is agony live your pain let others be
Time will never heal your wounds, you’re scarred for life and not immune
Grin and bare what lies ahead before you know it you’ll be dead
Hypertension, hyperbole, dig your ditch get in your hole
Do unto them what they do but don’t you think they’re there for you
In the shadow of a doubt push comes to shove you’ll do without
Don’t have to lose the will to live to simply have no more to give
Life’s too slow but moves too fast soon enough you’ll fade to black
Bad to worse
Starts at birth
Bad to worse
Life’s true curse
