Save Yourself (feat. Connor Reibling & Omega Virus)

Words drop like icicles through my skin Breaking away at my skeleton And everyone has to pretend to be tough Living through the life of hard knocks, they can't get enough And since we've become numb to the indoctrination We've become too aggressive with our expectations Since when were we only meant to see the glass as half empty When we'd rather see it half full? Fuck you, pessimist! Fuck you, pessimist! Yeah! Let down by the weight of everyone's judgment You can feel it crushing down on your spirit Painted in an optical illusion We see past the lifespan of our peers Retribution-guided retaliation Met by a world of contempt It draws out our fears Lest we stand in opposition Confronting the contaminated Stung by the knife of their lies Our wounds may be full But we still know that we will rise People have their problems but they know that I will never be the one to satisfy the hunger Of the misguided feelings that some of them decide to vent Onto the world for the rest of us to deal with We will never be caught with that shit No, we'll never be caught with that shit I can't save you Only you can save yourself I can't save you Only you can save yourself I can't save you Only you can save yourself I can't save you Only you can save yourself Painted in an optical illusion We see past the lifespan of our peers Retribution-guided retaliation Met by a world of contempt It draws out our fears Lest we stand in opposition Confronting the contaminated Stung by the knife of their lies Our wounds may be full But we still know that we will rise
