I'm a man of a thousand hardships Experiencing pain is nothing new Often due to the hands of others All the **** they've put me through
But I've made good some goals despite it Dodged the paths of unchanging misery Even now things are looking brighter And yet I still feel something obstructing
It was mostly you before But now, maybe it's me And my recent refusal To take responsibility Maybe it's just me Causing my own agony Problems won't solve themselves I need to get up
I could spend a thousand hours judging you And the pointless pain you put me through But I have legs that can still move And I can walk out of I'm willing to choose
So maybe it's mainly me I haven't taken responsibility Unwittingly added to my agony And shaped my own dark destiny So if it's now just on me If I can admit to my faults And say to my old ways, "No". Some of my problems may just go
