Rookie

I never thought this could be me
I guess you never do
Until it's happening to you
Like all the fun turns into shame
And all the could-have-beens
Rearrange

So little time, so many crimes
Guilt like a chain
Chokes my will away
Redemption never seemed so cruel
And all my gods
Never seemed so weak

Wake up, engage
Now derailed and enraged
Used to be so easy
Get up, I'm game
Now I'm sick and I'm tame
Counting cost with lost

Where is the hope they gave
I don't think that I can't hear you laugh
I used to be a lot like you
But now I'm only me
I used to be a lot like you
But now I'm only me, I'm only me

Drink to pills, to shots, turns into a shock, a habit and a pawn
For every hand goes round the pain gets so damn loud
The hammer hits and I'm down, and I'm down and I'm down, and I'm down

Trust no one, hey, why should I?
They gave me the poison dressed like life
Cheated, smacked up and diseased
Cry to sleep and fight to eat
Used to be a pro at this
Now I've broken my own wrist
Rotten teeth and life unsung
You'll forget me when I'm gone

Wake up, engage
Now derailed and enraged
It used to be so easy
Get up, I'm game
Now I'm sick and I'm tame
Counting cost with lost

When I used to be a lot like you
But now I'm only me
When I used to be a lot like you
But now I'm only me, I'm only me!
