lyrics

You ever felt like a bag of dirt?
it hurts bad, can't sleep, can't imagine worse
All I hear is some absent words
the silent treatment, damn you jerks
I know you, you had to have the last words
I asked you, now answer back you bastards
it's Frustrating, trying to shine but just fading
Odds against me, breaking, duct taping
saving my life thru faith, enough waiting
trying to look good, but my face was cut, shaving
Call me names to my face - I bet you can't!
tell me to act my age and get some fans?
yeah yeah, you wanna do some damage?
think bigger, and try to move the planets
i've let the wrong people play a part in my life
but if you're still here maybe we can shine bright

Yeah maybe we can shine bright
Someone tell me that it's alright

you ever felt like you need some new friends?
all the old ones just leave their two cents
you call them up and feel like a nuisance
but I'm just trying to rebuild with some blueprints
we made new jams, to please the true fans
we rocked hard for at least a few grand
it never lasts like a wilted fruit stand
you left.. nobody can fill your shoes man...
But it's a one way street I suppose
I change lanes and just speed down the road
and make sure that the weeds never grow
I kill 'em off and plant the seed of a rose
cuz I'm a leader in need of a true believer
by my side, gettin weaker to see that your not that eager
to be there. you'd rather have your vodka and caesars
I'm on the edge and you're just watching me teeter.


you ever felt like you're lucky to be here..?
everyday is like a bucket of free beer
they used to say "he's so ugly" and "he's weird"
in junior high, girls were buggin me each year.
and then I grew up, or maybe they did
or maybe i just learned to shake the hatred
and love consumed me, all the ladies gave in
am I the bad one, or were they mistaken?
but i'm a changed man, no more circus act
no more drama, mom, I know, no one's perfect, dad.
-You slapped my wrist when I slipped but i'm glad you did
I was an athlete, i was a graduate
saying I'm successful is probably inaccurate
I do my best and i always aim for happiness
and I dreamt that we shook hands and loved again
I'm not bad, i'm just a good man, strugglin
