[ Featuring Beauty in the Riot ]
I used to want it all just handed to me
Just a couple of bands, handed a hand of jewelry
Squeezed in a van of groupies
Shoulda been the ruler of this planet
Who woulda thought, it never happened to me
I had to go out n get it on my own
Cause opportunity ain't calling on the phone
I remember walking down the block all on my own
I was Memorizing lines that I was jotting on the go
God if I just only... known
All the years that I would throw away
And all the pain I'm just numb to it like novacaine
Never sober I've changed more than I'm supposed to
Felt like I had the weight of the world laid on my shoulder blades
Torn pages, squeezed ink til I made blisters
Look at David his Liquor's chasing his pain killers
I just wanted greatness, but they say time waits for no man
It's so sad, but i just wanted it so bad.
When you call I'll come running
Dont make me scrape you off the floor again
When you cry out, i bathe in your pain
For you ill go through hell and back again.
Bad as I remember
Life can be a b***h but in the end I still defend her
Watch how you move in a room full of pretenders
They wanna see you fail, but failures the best lesson
Wish I had less then
If I let all my fans down, I can't follow
To the fork in the road trapped in the path I'm on
Jagged little pill that I can't swallow
Lost hope; the same day as my grandfather (rest in peace)
My times coming, so I know it's going
Sold shows on my own, did it with no promotion
Sold drugs to myself hoping to over dose,
I Guess it's good to know I'm crazier than Joe Davola
10 thousand hours. What's that time worth now?
Looking back I guess it all worked out.
It's no secret. Even though it's looking all worse now
I'm still happy how my life turned out.
And I just wanted it so bad
When you call I'll come running
Dont make me scrape you off the floor again
When you cry out, i bathe in your pain
For you ill go through hell and back again.
When you call I'll come running
