Sick Sad World

I sharpened my teeth on the cold streets of this city

The crux of my life was a good time in this city

Taste, I can still taste the bitterness

Waste, another wasted opportunity

But I still believe

It's in here somewhere

A modicum of talent, despair, and motivation

Well it's all you really need

And if that's not quite enough I've got more to show

And new hope

I spend hard fought formative years in this city

Loved every road bump, and failure in this city

But I still believe

I have what it takes

It's not so hard just own what you make, and know your value

We'll that's all you really need

And if that's not quite enough I've got more to show

And new hope

Don't forget where you're from or who you are

That's a dangerous road

Grab a hold of what you want and never let go

It's a sick, sad world
