You Won't, You Won't

You wrestle yourself to the ground

you springboard, and kick yourself in the mouth

'cause all of that drama

that embarrassed charade

couldn't stop you, or settle you down

so you got back with your black hole

and you don't care who's out there, who knows

'cause you're spent, and you're sad

'cause you've bronzed it, it's your badge

now you've fixed it to all your clothes

every t-shirt and overcoat

so it's with you through hot or cold

but i would tear it from the cloth

yeah, i would tear it from the cloth

grow up and knock it off

'cause there's a world awake outside

it's injustice and it's music

and it's July, July

it's history's arc

it's your family,

it's art.

but it don't mean nothing

not to you, not tonight

you can't see past the length of your nose

the biggest problems, you're sure are your own

that girl you cut loose

and those friends that cursed you

and that powder that you can't leave alone

and you say, you know, you know, you know

but i know that you don't, you don't, you don't

'cause if you did, you'd really try

yeah, if you did, you'd really try

to let all that die

so marry yourself to your work

and crowd your confusion with words

then round out your life with some books you like

while you bury your love in the dirt

'cause it's endless, a ditch you can dig

and you're stubborn, and prideful, and you're all over it

so i suggest you make sense of the time you've got left

so you don't end up back where you've been

and you say you won't, you won't, you won't

and i hope that you don't, you don't, you don't

but if you mean it, why don't you stand up and fight

yeah, if you mean it, then stand up and fight

'cause i mean, it's only your life

it's only your life

to fix or ruin

to figure what to do with

it's only your life

to fix or ruin

'cause no one else is going to do it

'cause it's only your life
