Before Braille - Jaws Of Life lyrics

I'm caught up in the jaws of life What can heal can also tear you up inside Writing down your own anthem You don't like the older one I would stand at attention for less than minimum Wage your own forgotten wars Trade honor for canker sores Ghostly pride with matching tours You're childish without the joy I know that I said I would change I know that I haven't changed A shoulder to lean on and then break/embrace I'm barely breathing with my status day to day Caught off guard by innocence I cross my heart you influences pull you down I swear it's not the fault of mine or of the fault of anyone So tell me what the guilt feels like Are you swallowed in the jaws of life When you strip people down you'll see how they don't need their cover Is it clear and defined when fists from a simple conflict rise And we turn into monsters we thought were once extinct. (I could tell you things to shock you too)
