[Verse 1] I feel like I've been breathing out of an exhaust pipe On the job site, with a fist full of brittle sand Should have seen it coming A mile away from the little hill in which I'm making a stand on It makes a man of me (doesn't it?) And if it never kills me then I get a pass Wish I could've opened up the air around me Just a little bit so I could take a gasp Who the hell is watching? Put a notch in my belt, keep it on the tracks Shoulda woulda coulda never made a difference When you're playing chicken with your only chance But it made a man of me, right? Mad man That gotta dance around and play his sounds Wish I knew back then what I know now Yeah, look at me now!
[Hook] Dodging forever Spending a fortune to figure it out I don't believe it Never learned how All of this pressure is driving me wild Look at me now [repeat]
[Verse 2] I'm starting to feel like it's stacking on my shoulders Another soldier with little patience to see the dawn Fought a lot of odds, in the name of cause Put em in a box buried in the lawn But I learned a lesson from it, didn't I? And if I didn't who the hell is gonna teach me? I've been looking for answers And none of em ever offered a lesson that'll reach me Who can see me? Losing personal relationships like people do they house keys I've been outside, looking inside With a shadow casted all around me And they doubt me Try to throw a little part of me away with every frown Just wish they saw what I know now Yeah, look at me now!
[Hook] Dodging forever Spending a fortune to figure it out I don't believe it Never learned how All of this pressure is driving me wild Look at me now [x3]
