Stand against the wall you're a child no more

I'll portray you like a civilian

But treat you like a whore

I am life and I will always live

Don't take from me, but only give

I am the one that will break your leg

And kick you back while you try

The one that will make you run away and cry

The one who controls your emotions' tide

I'll make you beg while I laugh and stride

And after all this training I'm the one to blame

Your friends betray you while I'm put to shame

You think I hurt you for no reason at all?

You think I enjoy seeing you curl up like a ball?

Weeping how the bad man did you bad

Or how a red eyed dame was all you had

I warned you of this, I always did

But with misery you flirted and kissed

you walk into fire and expect not to burn

All the warnings of mine in vain return

All I wanted for you is to train

For you to endure a lifetime of pain

I am life and I'm by your side

It's not from me that you should hide


You were shot in the legs by your best friend

But wasn't it obvious how it would end?

You must start thinking before you act

You use your emotions to dismiss a fact

You look at the devil with blurry eyes

And you believe every word of his lies

You admire the nonsense he speaks to you

You try convincing yourself it's true

And to this story we all knew how it went

You cried all night in your emotional tent

Where entry is free, but help is for a cent

Where anyone can come and anyone can go

Where your hopes are waiting for someone to show

They all enter and leave nothing behind

They drain your emotions and ruin your mind

But when they knock you let them in

And your misery ends as how it begins
