​Something on my side
Built me up and gave me pride
Helped me cope, helped me survive
A choice in life, helped me define

Myself in time
Of both body and mind
How you live is your choice
I hold this close to me

I know its hard enough as it is
Trying to motion through every day bullshit
Growing up fast, seeing my mother fall helplessly victim to
Substance abuse, fuck!

If I'll ever become that
A better life better chance, better plan
Still learning, still listening
Still searching for my myself

I know it's hard enough as it is
Trying to motion through every day bullshit
I know it's hard enough as it is
Trying to motion through every day bullshit

This is for us, the few left
The ones still standing, fuck what they think
Still here, still clean
For Susan Griffith, eating pills
My brother Shawn, a drunk driver killed

In this life, my choice remains the same
My choice remains the same!
My choice remains the same!
Forever unchanged
