Im not an author, but I got my way with words
I could lead an army, but I cant talk to a girl
I can almost taste you, the blood that?s underneath
I am no vampire, but often I never sleep
I could be a deaf man, but id still know how to sing
And I could be your fucking savior cuz youll pray to anything
Go out and be successful, thats what mom and dad once said
But dont be surprised when youre out of time and your tears put you to bed
Cuz its hard to be surprised when youre living in a box
And its hard to be a man when the world is so messed up
Im doin the best I can and often I find
That as long as I got my home and as long as I got my friends ill be fine
Im not a rich boy and I cant see at night
But I dont need a thousand dollars to know what love is like
I know my father he knows half the shit you learn
But the change thats in his pocket is the same money you dont deserve
I love my mother and the way she makes me lie
But I would give myself like jesus if I could just see her smile
I can be successful, a hero with this cheap guitar
Cuz if you follow in someones footsteps you wont ever get too far
Its hard to be surprised when youre living in a box
And its hard to be a man when the world is so messed up
Im doing the best I can and often I find
That as long as I got my home and as long as I got my friends ill be fine
