lyrics

I've lost the will to write again from the bottom of my heart,
I can't figure out for the life of me where to finish or where to start,
the days are long so summers here its a struggle just to breath
can't bear the thought of going back with my heart stuck on my sleeve

I swear I'll never understand why they set their sights on me
I guess ideas are hard to come by with no originality
maybe boredom maybe fear memories are hard to kick
I've tried to drink them all away but they always seem to stick

such an angry kid inside, Dance away those sleepless nights
do whatever makes you smile, broken bones from all the fights
just ingore the words they say, we'll find a way to show them all
we'll find a way to show them all.

looking back on all those years theres not one bit i miss
bruises, taunts and punches thrown brought scars to both my wrists
for years i hid i hated them who the fuck are they
to have any power over me on what i do or say

such an angry kid inside, Dance away those sleepless nights
do whatever makes you smile, broken bones from all the fights
just ingore the words they say, we'll find a way to show them all
that we're still here with no plans to disapeare, just as long as we keep singing we'll be fine

So do your worst i cant begin to tell you how much
i couldnt give a damn about what you say or do
And i'll tell you now with beaming pride with a smile around
a half mile wide that im so goddamn glad that ill never be like you
So im done with every war I've waged moving on the next blank page
My friends and major chords forever by my side
& ill sing my songs with all my heart about drugs & booze & girls & art
and a faded memory that ill name after you.
