Born Cross-Eyed

Job at 6, woke up at seven

Brush your hair, take to the heavens

Stressed enough, they're giving bullshit

Had enough, Don't wanna do it

But with luck, you're gonna make it

Through the day, just gotta fake it

Smile and nod, comments aplenty

View the clock, just seven twenty

Laughter drifts in from the distance

Shake your head, can't tell the difference

Is it you they find amusing?

Suck it up - they'll keep abusing

Half past eight, time to deliver

Cross the road, head to the river

Trip and fall, drenched and discarded

Just 'cause they say you're retarded

Brushing off, sun's getting hidden

Overcast - feeling forbidden

Starts to rain, figures you're out there

Such a pain, no help - they don't care

Run down home, job that you're stuck with

Feeding then choking on life's pith

Cough it up, No time to reason

Here you are, stuck in a season

Cold and damp, no light is coming

Stick around - no point in running

Close your eyes, taking in this moment

Close your eyes, let it slip away

Can you see the world like I do?

Can you Smile away the pain

Can you feel the wind blowing cold

Can you smell the coming rain

Heaven sent, born with affliction

Mom and dad wrought with addiction

No remorse, they all deserved it

Fallen down, till fate had served it

Shed a tear, brush it away, then

Look ahead, end of the day, it's

Time to move, time now to focus

Tripped again - nobody noticed

Shake it off, brushing yourself down

Spread your wings, time to go downtown

One more route, then you'll be free to

Start again, be who you'll be, yeah

Hear the taunts, always parading

Down the street, never evading

Bow your head, feel unworthy

Never could see what they all see

Close your bag, nothing is in there

like your head - you're going nowhere

Dead end job got out of pity

deep inside, still feel shitty

One o'clock, worktime is ending

Heading home, no more defending

Afternoon spent in your bedroom

Insecure from all you assume

All your life, no life was coming

Still you feel no point in running

Close your eyes, make this your moment

Close your eyes, let it slip away

Can you see the world like I do?

Can you be all that you can?

Can you feel the chilling winter?

Can you say "That's who I am"?

It's all inside

These feelings I try to hide

Giving up just isn't a choice

I've got to find myself, i need to find my voice.

Can you see the world like I do?

Can you be all that you can?

Can you feel the chilling winter's air?

Can you say "That's who I am"?

(Hey ya, hey ya hey ya, hey ya hey ya, hey ya hey [x3]

You can make it if you try, you can always touch the sky,

Even when they make you cry, you can always touch the sky)

Life is getting better, every day I make my rounds

Smile at the ghosties, as I make it through the town

Feel the weight is lifting as the sun is going down

You can make it if you try, you can always touch the sky

Even if they make you cry, you can always touch the sky

Changing situations, and a shift in daily pace

Things are getting better, no more fears i need to chase

Knowing they're accepting, even though they could erase

You can make it if you try, you can always touch the sky

Even if they make you cry, you can always touch the sky

Now the sun is setting, and I feel my time is through

Though the weight has lifted, there is little I can do

So i'll just accept it, and I hope that you will, too

You can make it if you try, you can always touch the sky

Even if they make you cry, you can always touch the sky...
