Henry Rollins - Alien Blueprint lyrics

You reached out You got burned Made tough by the lessons you learned You never thought they could be so mean Be so hard and cause you so much pain Like a fool You tired again You really wanted to be their friend But looking back you see they just wasted your time Self loathing The anger inside You covered it up with pride You always found a way to blame it on yourself So mad So mean The pain remained unseen All that time spent up wanting to explode What they did The things they said You wished that you were dead Anything not to deal with them They made you hate You couldn't wait To go out and do something great Turn around and throw it right back in their face Looking back you get yourself together Looking back you see the hatred inside Now you see that you get to change your mind about yourself And get to move on Looking back you see you just wasted your time Looking back you can see all you've got is yourself You can tell by the look in their eyes Now you see How you are The wisdom mixed in with all the scars Watching all the fools They never knew They never do It was always up to you You gotta get it for yourself You never were One of them They could have never been our friends The best revenge is to always survive yourself
