Nobody listens to a fucking thing you say
You’re tired of living every God forsaken day
With the shit that people put you through
You’ve reached the point that you don’t know what to do
Society won’t let you be the person you want to be
This same society says that you have the right to be free
Isn’t it funny they’re giving you a taste of hypocrisy
If you’re under age, you’re restricted by your mom and dad
Youthful freedom is a feeling you’ll likely never have
Bound tight by unnecessary rules and restrictions
You are held accountable by your past convictions
And automatically given false accusations
Not expected to reveal your aggravation
On threats of prolonged misery and strife
Threats so thick you could cut them with a knife
You get to the point that you don’t know what to give
And start thinking about whether or not you want to live
You think that people are hurting you for their pleasure
And that they will keep on hurting you forever
This is the point in your life where all of the pain stops
The weight of the world was lifted off your shoulders and dropped
You are free to stand up and take back what is yours
Free to take the key and unlock all these doors
That kept you from acting on what you believe
And being the person you always wanted to be
Now you take what you can and give nothing back
No one will know exactly how to react
To this state of action that is prevailing
And showing no signs of failing
So what do you do when nothing seems right?
Do you embrace the challenge, or fall into the shadows of the night?
When you’re scared to make a wrong turn
What do you do to help you learn?
The steps I’ve taken have lead to nothing
But have always began for something
For that reason alone, I’ve lived each day
Never knowing where to stop and pray
Never understanding the concept of a world so cold
Never believing anything that I was told
No one ever gave me a reason to live
They never saw how much I tried to give
They did nothing but make me feel like shit
I lost count of how many times I’ve wanted to quit
Not one person has seen the real me
Not one person has taken the time to see
That I can’t grow up according to their plan
My life belongs in the palm of my hand
I will give and I will give for you
But when I asked for one thing, where were you?
My love was always meant to be amplified
But you always took and were never satisfied
Never knowing that you can only take so much
Until you’re to the point where you’re pushing you’re luck
So now you stand alone all by yourself
Wishing that there was somebody else
That you hadn’t tested and then pushed away
Now it’s too late, and you have to deal with the mistake.
