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 d**
Sell us half-a** 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 pa**ionate man
'Cause I hate myself for missing all the times I promised you
