rejected the life he was living violence became a religion a disease brought on by disease brought on by the poorest decisions said you're never gonna get to the life that you were starting towards never gonna get away from the fight to hold onto our world still believing everything they're told never questioning the lies they're sold a lonely social suicide and now this pride what died inside won't be revived back to the wall just trying to hide for fear of faces i deny too many faces to deny new friends that aren't really your friends who decides where it starts and it ends if blood is the only answer we find than we're asking the wrong questions sick of walking with my eyes to the ground avoiding all these toes every night another mile of eggshells is paving every road still believing everything they're told a new life spun out of control violence breeds violence from a clumsy fist to a hired hit it's still the law of a lawless land where pain is the only suit that fits an eye or a tooth is still currency and a trip to the emergency is one last kick one breath too short one breath too short to live
