| The road to hell was paved with good intentions
|
| That’s the path that brought me here
|
| You sell your soul for roles you take
|
| And then you have to look into the mirror
|
| So feed us cancer, give us drugs
|
| Sell us half-ass educations all so we can
|
| Pick a job to pay the rent
|
| Forget your dreams and what they may have meant to you in your youth
|
| Find a bride and raise the kids
|
| Teach them from mistakes that you have made
|
| Are we predestined or just well-trained?
|
| Invent a god and place the blame for all this hurt you feel
|
| And on and so on
|
| It feels sometimes so scripted like your life’s out of your hands
|
| A fixed lottery we’ll never win
|
| Not everybody wants to be the angry one
|
| To sacrifice and make a change
|
| But everybody wants to find a better way
|
| I search for that for you
|
| These things that you love will leave
|
| We’ll bury friends and family
|
| With these lonely feelings
|
| These lonely feelings, I think of you
|
| In my selfishness I waste away
|
| Act your age and be a man
|
| With these lonely feelings
|
| These lonely feelings, I think of you
|
| And I brace myself
|
| And it feels sometimes so scripted like your life’s out of your hands
|
| A fixed lottery we’ll never win
|
| Not everybody wants to be the angry one
|
| To sacrifice and make a change
|
| But everybody wants to find a better way
|
| I search for that for you
|
| And it breaks my heart to see you do this all by yourself
|
| And I’ve sworn so many times this year I’d turn things around
|
| Don’t ever let your daughter love a passionate man
|
| 'Cause I hate myself for missing all the times I promised you |
