Memoirs of a straight edge Zer0



Listen to me while you turn your back
It's not even about you, matter of fact.

This isn't a love song to help you through,
I'm not writing lullabies for our youth
This is no suicide note I've wrote to you,
It's simply a fool's way of telling the truth.

I come before you sick and in pain,
I'm locked up, drugged, called insane
with nothing left to gain,
I've only lost my pain.
The cloud in my head clears
I'll be this zombie for years
It's a pool I'm willing to swim in
Dip my toes shallow to begin

Listen to me while you turn your back
It's not even about you, matter of fact.

This isn't a love song to help you through,
I'm not writing lullabies for our youth
This is no suicide note I've wrote to you,
It's simply a fool's way of telling the truth.

Listen to me while you turn your back
It's not even about you, matter of fact.

I come before you a man who's broken
thrashed and torn by the words you've spoken
with nothing left to lose
I missed my chance to choose
maybe my nothing is something of value
I've thought it through, you know it's true,
It's a lie I'm willing to live for
nothing's enough for me anymore

Listen to me while you turn your back
It's not even about you, matter of fact.

This isn't a sad song to help me through,
I'm not writing lullabies for our youth
This is no suicide note I've wrote to you,
I'm simply a fool for telling the truth....

...simply a fool for believing in you.
