Blame It on Bad Luck

Pound my knuckles hard against the floor My head against the wall But I did this to myself Assume it's just not worth getting back up, But I'll blame it on bad luck I'll shake responsibility I spent some time in a bad place at 18, Wishing I could see something through clear eyes Do you ever wake up to realize your life is meaningless? Does it give you strength or lead you to your grave at a young age? Pound my knuckles hard against the floor My head against the wall But I did this to myself Assume it's just not worth getting back up, But I'll blame it on bad luck I'll shake responsibility It seems that when I ran away from my past all my dignity, My faith, My pride got left back And now I think it's time that I realize self pity's meaningless Though I'm 10 feet deep, I'll claw my way back out from in my grave Pound my knuckles hard against the floor My head against the wall But I did this to myself Assume it's just not worth getting back up, But I'll blame it on bad luck I'll shake responsibility (And say a hard life did this to me) But now I realize I'd give anything I have to walk a day in my old shoes Wondering what my first smoke would be like, My first f*ck, My next f*ck up Or the next band that would change my life and it changed my life Pound my knuckles hard against the floor My head against the wall But I did this to myself Assume it's just not worth getting back up, But I'll blame it on bad luck I'll shake responsibility (And say a hard life did this to me)
