Back of the Bus

No one said that this would be easy

(I don't wanna know)

What will this future bring me?

They all told me it's okay

Still I dream of that day

The world is so cruel to me now

I've lost my energy to mind plow

Does anyone know how I feel?

I hope this reality just ain't real

I'm on my last chance

How much struggle can God enhance?

Hanging on by a thread

If it snaps I'll lose my head

I don't know how I became this way

All I can do is put my head down and just pray

(pray for a better day)

 

I'm on the back of this bus

People are screaming, what's the fuss?

Entangled in this life

That I've learned how to balance

Who's pulling these strings? that's the malice

I'm not here to play your games

Better be prepared, I'm taking names

Think that its' worse physical?

Don't listen to that kind of bull

Mental goes the worst

It's a deadly fuckin' curse

 

I'm lookin' out for myself

Keeping an eye on mental health

I try to save all i can

And try to keep evil away but still stay a man (stay a man)

I don't know which guy I wanna be

Wish someone else would think like me

Everyone hates me, I'm taking the heat

Being bad is such a cold seat

I wanna be good, I wanna be great

Somehow I feel like I'm pushing back that date

I'd like to vanish all my sin

But that's a fight I cannot win

It's here forever

Forever and ever, why never?

Well we're in all of this together

 

We have fun times

But only sometimes

I had my chance to love at one time

Why can't someone sit here with to me?

My heart is turning cold and I've lost the key

I guess no one likes me anymore

Maybe it's my fault and I've burnt that door

And just, if you would just believe me

Then I-I would just try to stay

Happiness is flying above me

I try reach out and touch

But I'm still leaning on this crutch

I've learned trying doesn't work out how it seems

You need to push it to the limit

And hope to hell that you'll win it

Cause that's something that you earn

It's not a switch that you can turn

Right now things could be real ******

But don't let people look at you in pity

**** will always get kinda ******

Before and after your finally happy

When your world is flipped upside down

Keep yourself from making a frown

That'll keep the clock turning

And through your faults, you'll keep on learning
