I remember the first time that I stepped outside of school
A broken backpack and a pissed degree
And a twisted sense of cool
I never really had a lot of vision
I never really had much of a clue
I never really felt the pull of ambition
I never really dealt well with the rules
Now many years later I’m wondering
Just what the hell I’m gonna do
I don't have the courage of the downtrodden
I don't have the privilege of the few
Well I'm on the road to hell now
And there's the signpost up ahead
A few more miles of good intentions
And I can lay me down to rest
I never really thought about advancing
I never really remembered one day I'd die
I never really felt that time was creeping
I never really saw her swinging scythe
I'm my decomposer
(Oh I'm a decomposer!)
Now I still remember when we were kids
And we were having fun
But I never understood the truth back then
That schoolyards had to be won
And as the cubs all bit and bloodied their ears
And clawed their way to the top
You said I’m never gonna be the one
To break inside when the doors are locked, cause...
I'm not a survivor. I'm not surviving. I...
