Lyrics

The road to hell is paved
With good intentions
That's the path that brought me here
You sell your soul for roles you take and
Then you have to look into the mirror

So feed us cancer. give us drugs
Sell us half-ass educations so we can pick
A job to pay the rent

Forget your dreams and
What they may have meant
To you in your youth
Find a bride and raise the kids

Teach them from mistakes that you have made
Are we predestined or just well trained?
Invent a god and place the blame for all
This hurt you feel. and on
And so on. it feels sometimes
So scripted like your life is out of your hands

A fixed lottery we'll never win
Not everybody wants to be the angry one
To sacrifice and make a change
But everybody wants to find a better way
I search for that for you

These things that you love will leave
We'll bury friends and family
With these lonely feelings I think of you
In my selfishness I waste away

Act your age and be a man
With these lonely feelings I think of you
And I brace myself
And it breaks my heart to see
You do this all by yourself

I've sworn so many times
This year I'll turn things around
Don't ever let your daughter love
A passionate man, because I hate
Myself for missing all the times
I promised you
