Front Lines

Growing slow I sought out another day I lived with aspirations for my dreams Why the hell would I win the prize or even believe it's a possible stride? All the shows and songs couldn't be me And I gave up so fast on almost everything Piano lessons swimming the soccer team No one saw my watered eyes as I screamed Just a kid acting out they punished me Popping Prozac in the seventh grade The solution that was made altered my brain Emotions dulled and I stopped as the others learned developed fast A child in college drew me to know me And I gave up so fast on almost everything Would've taken only one role model's belief Unrealistic what I want my heart so dear it screams For one god damn person to push me Like a baby off a cliff the Spartans say You will make it, you won't, it's easy I will take it every time Put me on the front line How many years will I keep surviving These forces they sting I'm thriving I will take it every time Put me on the front line Finally, got the chance, bit the fruit out of your hand Magic mirror only show me what I want to see And no fuckin' body knows why I scream Amicable is the only word accepted Continue while the bullets rain Finally, I accept under the bus where I was kept Nothing ever would be made for me Apologizing for merely existing, everything's my fault I'm resisting The swelling urge to keep pushing alive Keep pushing alive On the front lines, keep on fighting On the front lines On the front lines, keep on fighting On the front lines (Gave up so fast on almost everything) On the front lines, Keep on fighting
