The rattle of chains, ringing in my head
Status quo is chained to my bed
I should walk out that damn door
Grab life by the balls and squeeze for all I’m worth
But right now I feel worthless
So I stay right put and thrash-talk myself instead
God, how did I end up as one of the most privileged
A safe country, a roof over my head, all the opportunities just dangling right in front of my face
The future in front of me, shoulda been ablaze
Shoulda, coulda, woulda..
Asking myself «Why don’t ya?»
The answer is merely just «HAH»
I’m stuck in my head
Stuck in my damn head, living like I’m already dead
I’m the sole reason why my life is rough
I can be brave, at times but..
I can’t be brave enough
I hate this person staring back in the mirror
I hate how I break when I need myself the most
I hate how when life throws me punches
My damn brain just goes «adios»
I chase this dream, to be more than I am now
But I can’t get seem to get anywhere close
Don’t feel bad for me, nah
I get what I deserve
I’m the sole reason why my life is rough
I can be brave, at times but..
I can’t be brave enough
I can’t be brave enough!
How did I end up like one of the lucky ones?
I got it all, got nothing to complain about
Never deserved it, just happened to be born here
Still, the guts needed just ain’t there
I shoulda, coulda, woulda..
Asking myself «Why don’t ya?»
I’m the reason why my life is rough
I know, I know this
I can be brave, at times
But I can’t, I just can’t!
Be brave, be brave, be brave ENOUGH
