[Intro]
Don't try to live your life through me
You'll live with everything that you regret
Be ashamed if you want if you want that is your choosing
I just want to live and forget, the war I went through
The abuse by your hand, the napalm that rained
In my forests when you're violent and mad
Yeah, I could break the cycle to pieces of glass
Bleeding from my feet, bitch I'll turn it to sand

[Verse 1]
Looking in the wrong place
I've been fishing in a bath tub
Answer's in the ocean, that's what being sad does
Past tense, left me feeling damaged
I want to have a future I feel like I can manage
Burnout and you can see my smoke clouds
Building's gonna fall, yeah, it's really about to go down
Rebuild me into newer foundations
I can't stand the planet with all of its shaking
In this earthquake, I'm at fault for my mistakes
And I've learned to recognize
Because that's how mom raised me, don't tell me
I can't feel or that my feelings are worthless
Or that you're ashamed of me because I'm not a surgeon
Why are you mad that I'm my own person
Why are you sad and see me as burden, I'm not the son you wanted
But I'm trying my best and I lose myself in songs to escape and forget

[Chorus]
Don't try to live your life through me
You'll live with everything that you regret
Be ashamed if you want if you want that is your choosing
I just want to live and forget, the war I went through
The abuse by your hand, the napalm that rained
In my forests when you're violent and mad
Yeah, I could break the cycle to pieces of glass
Bleeding from my feet, bitch I'll turn it to sand

[Verse 2]
Why you'd break the table? To be happy is a fable
Fairy tales aren't real, reality is painful
Violence, but it's all met with silence
I hate the thought of skin being bruised into violets
I wish I could stop my crying
I couldn't ask for help, no I couldn't ask for guidance
Riots in my head I'm hearing sirens
I tried to be the perfect son, but it's just tiring
Don't try to live your life through me
You'll live with everything that you regret
Be ashamed if you want if you want that is your choosing
I just want to live and forget, the war I went through
The abuse by your hand, the napalm that rained
In my forests when you're violent and mad
I could break the cycle to pieces of glass
Bleeding from my feet, bitch I'll turn it to sand
Yeah, I'll turn it to sand, walk on my beach
Turn it to sand, walk on my beach
Past anxiety and pain you left for mama and me
Ocean wash the pain turn my nightmares to dreams
Leave my pain behind for all the fish in the sea
Yeah, just let it be, it's all c'est la vie, you can have the remnants
You heartless machine, you can your deal blows to my self-esteem
But you can never take what this all means to me
[Chorus]
Don't try to live your life through me
You'll live with everything that you regret
Be ashamed if you want if you want that is your choosing
I just want to live and forget, the war I went through
The abuse by your hand, the napalm that rained
In my forests when you're violent and mad
Yeah, I could break the cycle to pieces of glass
Bleeding from my feet, bitch I'll turn it to sand
