My mom never hesitated to talk about fear

Told me it was only natural, my dear

Yeah, it’s a part of us but don’t let it consume you

Gotta find the willpower to pull yourself through

‘Cause if you let it get to you, it will literally tear you apart

And I never did well in school, but even I know that’s not smart

 

See, when I was young I was afraid of the dark

Afraid of the sharks and even large amusement parks

But those times were simple

It was okay to act on impulse

The path clear like a crystal

 

But times would get hard

Ran out of playing cards

A big world ahead of us

Didn’t have many friends, except Gus

But that wasn’t all

Beaten up in so many brawls

Even days began to feel like nightfall

Not to mention the times you just felt banal

 

It couldn’t get worse, could it?

But it did…

 

Found it hard to get along

But had to be strong and carry on

Surrounded by lies and pretense

Everything seemed to defy common sense

Who could survive in an environment like that?

When you’re tossed away and neglected like an alleycat

And how can you trust?

When you’re filled with nothing but disgust

Then you go home to a room full of dust

Damn, life is so hard to adjust

 

Time running low

And options as well

 

You’re shattered and broken

But you gotta stay focused

Says that voice in your head

Otherwise, you just may end up dead

 

But soon you’ll meet someone, and they’ll tell you it’s easy

Easy, ‘cause you’ve been a fighter your entire life

 

You got nothing to lose

And everything to prove

So why don’t you try

You’d be surprised

 

But I don’t know if I can

Don’t worry, just take my hand

We’ll make an entrance that’s grand

And continue fighting until our last stand
