High Life

I am the lowly Low Life
Predator, prey, strong versus weak
Take a second, absorb the moment
Keep pumping shit in so you can't fucking think
I was born into this, dying right at birth
No one to care for, no one cares for me

So you wanted this to be the end?
I'm sorry that's not how this works
But still you stay seated in suffering
When you need to get up and put the past away
How can you continue doing what you do?
Feeling sorry for yourself when you have everything to lose
All you ever needed was to ask for help
A simple question locked away, and long forgotten
Why is it so hard to the let the screaming inside
Explode onto the surface, so it can finally die?
We all have these screams, some learn to let it escape
Some can embrace this feeling, others bottle their hate
I promise to you, and the rest of the world
If we learn to stop comparing our existence, life will improve
Unfortunately that is up to you, to make this dream come true
I still say it's not farfetched
So what are you going to do?

I'm going to get my head off the ground
Stop sleeping in the dirt, and find hope again
It's out there, but I guess I never tried
I've only known anger and how to keep it alive
But it's time to contain this negative refrain
And break through the barrier of doubt
Which has haunted me for years
I'm no longer scared of the outside world
It's beauty unseen
Because I've gotten used to keeping myself in the dark

I was a lowly Low Life
But I picked my fucking head up and fought right back
I took the time, embraced the moment
Realized all the damage before it was too late
I was born into this, so I'll make it of it what I can
I found something to care for
Even if some don't care for me
So I rise up from the dirt
And try to make a better world
A world fit for you and me
