Suckerpunch -

It’s been about a dozen seasons

Since the boy became a man

Now he sees the forest for the trees

Now he touches just enough to feel

He’s much stronger than

He was just yesterday

Won’t get suckerpunched again

Gotta sink so you can swim

Ya know?

You never really learn

Till you fall and feel the burn

Ya know?

He looks back and has

To pitty where he’s been

Then he smiles and walks away

There were days when it

Hurt too much to handle

Foolish boy had to

Learn how to dismantle

All those memories

That wouldn’t seem to leave

Won’t get suckerpunched again

Gotta sink so you can swim

Ya know?

You never really learn

Till you fall and feel the burn

Ya know?

There is a reason

Some reason for all of this

Affliction is a contradiction

To our happiness

Except to tose who know

Those who know
