Reason
I need to tell someone about this
The people I must tell I no longer have
Nor did I ever dry your eyes boy
Men aren't allowed to be sad
This was the final blow
Why was I so hardcore
What's. A mom and a dad
all the fighting is finally done
I must have looked so stupid or insane
From the first moment, I took my first breath, Not knowing life had already won
Somewhere there's laughter
As they heard me say time and time again
I might be losing this battle
It doesn't matter it's the war I have to win
Instead of climbing to the mountain top
I dug my own grave deeper in the ground
In a place that no one ever goes
With the hope to never be found
My all wasn't even close
Not even close to what it ing takes
Maybe love bypassed me
Since I'm the perfect mistake
I'm everything that's wrong
I never feel alright
I was looking through blind eyes
While having 20/20 site
So if you want to hear
About a mouse who thought he was a man
Telling everyone he had it figured out
Still following the wrong plan
Tell my story to everyone, even if you have to shout
A bunch of horrible choices constantly being made
I thought I could beat life
when it was life that invented the game
It cut me open like a knife
I accept I've lost and can't fight on
I'll head back to the to the darkness
For the darkness is never gone
