you'll never be th man
they want you to be
you've got no goals in
life it don't make since
to see someone
forgotten someone you
used to know is there a
reason no one seems to
care no one can give you
the life you get what he
said was true and i'll
never forget his son the
sacrifice now i owe him
my life give your life to
God come into his light
don't let the world own
you with it's false
analogies of what a
happy life looks like and
why you don't add up
there's no happy ending
to this impossibility so
change your mind and
give him time i'm sure
you'd agree thy gave
you heroes someone to
look up to you'll never
be like them no matter
how hard you try it's all
superficial a deceptive lie
i know you're getting
tired so stop!
