Have you felt a void, emptiness inside you? You can't face the real world, you can't stay true So you search for false answers that impair your site The bottle and the cross telling you it's alright I don't need it I can stand on my own Neither religion nor d** I face my problems alone Without a crutch I face reality All I ever had was music, friends, and me This is all we have, this pathetic existence That destroyed my hope, destroyed my persistence I will not give up; I will stay true to myself I won't live my life in shackles, (I'll live) for me and no one else
