It's something ****** up
You want to run my life
I don't know who to trust
My heart aches through the night
Why should I listen to you
There's no answer to the riddle
I don't know what to do
Crazy **** happens everyday
And I just try to survive the ******* drama

I take things as they come
Try to be kind to all
But I'm left feeling undone
****** up in my head
Racing thoughts argue amongst themselves
That life isn't beautiful at all
I try to talk to you about it
But you won't listen to me
So here I am going crazy
Tired of the ******* *******
And the way things shouldn't be

I don't know why I do the things I do
I try so hard not to turn to escaping
I've been there many times before
And it's not the place I want to go back again
I'm ******* sick of it all
There's more to life than getting drunk
More to life than getting high
I don't know where I am going from here
But it's a lot better than where I came from
I have made too many mistakes
But I keep trudging along
I pick myself up
Dust myself off
And give a sober life another try

So I can't understand your disbelief
You're in awe because of me
You think I am going to fail
But I will prevail
And make a fool out of you
It's just taking me many years to realize
How ****** up people can be
I have given them the benefit of the doubt
But really they're out to cause ******* mayhem
They try to make life impossible
But **** 'em!
