Push me and I'll push you back
Deadly when I'm on the attack
Fuck you up, you're hooked on crack
Like Johnny Cash, the man in black
Leader of the rebellious pack
I turn around, there you are
My burnt out shooting star
Hand caught in lifes' cookie jar
Long gone, but not too far
Ever wonder why I'm so insane
Why I'm like a runaway train
Hurt you 'til you feel my pain
Rub your nose in my blood stains
Wash my innocence down the drain
Beaten, broken, but I won't compromise
A phoenix, from the ashes I arise
No one hears my conflicted cries
I can't believe your perjured lies
Affliction comes as no surprise
I turn around, there you are
My burnt out shooting star
Hand caught in lifes' cookie jar
Long gone but not too far
This is who I'm supposed to be
Epiphanies do not come for free
Some things you're not meant to see
There is no way we can agree
Don't trust anyone that's my plea.
