Save Yourself - BROJOB, Connor Reibling

Breaking away at my skeleton

And everyone has to pretend to be tough

Living through the life of hard knocks, they can’t get enough

And since I’ve become numb to the indoctrination

We’ve become too aggressive with our expectations

Since when were we only meant to see the glass as half empty, When we’d rather

see it half full?

Fuck you pessimist

Let down by the weight of everyone’s judgment

You can feel it crushing down on your spirit

Painted in an optical illusion

We seek past the lifespan of our peers

Retribution-guided retaliation

Met by a world of contempt

It draws out our fears

Lest we stand in opposition

Confronting the contaminated

Stung by the knife of their lies

Our wounds may be full

But we still know that we will rise

People have their problems but they know that

We will never be the one to satisfy the hunger

Of the misguided feelings that some of them decide to vent onto the world for

the rest of us to deal with

We will never be caught with that shit

No, we’ll never be caught with that shit

I can’t save you

Only you can save yourself
