If I knew you
Then I have loved you
I had a lotta friends
Lost a lotta friends
Lotta lost friends
Got caught up in pretense
Of having fun on the weekends
Drinking smoking til we’re peaking
But nobody speaking bout the pain so deep in
All run around, posting pics of our sheepskins
Fluffy lovey dovey coats we sneak in
Hiding the wolf were keeping
Under covers never reaching depth of true friendships
Or lovers, but howling on silent lips
Our inner violence, self harm
Hides behind crossed arms
Filters on еverything
Filters hide thе everyday
Filters out the darker days
Filters out the harsher shades
Of the games we were taught to play
Through some shades on
Cry behind our ray-bans
Thankful when the day gone
Cause our lives we can’t stand
But fearful of the nights long
And drunk sing to our favorite bands
With lyrics like fuck the man
And
It's empty in the valley of your heart
Like damn
Swimming pools of liquor
For the children who’re sicker
Short cutting to a death quicker
With each puff of a cigarette
Pretending to be tough but dead inside
With a little child cries
Echoing through the lies of the teachings
Of preachers and false leaders
Those poo, sick, twisted creatures
Creating a country of kids stuck on the bleachers
Afraid to live their own life for fear of failure
Punished by demons hiding behind regalia
Saying don’t be god or we’ll nail ya
To a cross and listen to your boss
Ignore your thoughts and feelings
Just do what your taught, need healing?
Just get job and we’ll give the pills
Need skills pay for paper
That says you know what you paid for
To pay you in paper
Til your life ends breathing like Vader
And the chances lost to be your own savior
And life’s creator
Yea lifes a bitch but you can’t hate her
Or evade her, gotta dive in a play her
With kindness and love for your neighbors
We gon rise above what they gave her
And be in love with our haters
Cause they’re lost
And they’re in danger
If I knew you
Then I have loved you
Then I have loved you
I had a lotta friends
Lost a lotta friends
Lotta lost friends
Got caught up in pretense
Of having fun on the weekends
Drinking smoking til we’re peaking
But nobody speaking bout the pain so deep in
All run around, posting pics of our sheepskins
