lyrics

[Verse 1]: Alex-Ander
Now what would you do if you knew you could never top the plot?
‘Cause everything rushes, like please, stop the clock
You’d be pissed, and with people and all their talk
You wanna' snap, but they always just call the cops
All they do each time, is exactly the same shit
Like “You need help” and “He's only another untamed kid”
Man, please, slow down, back it up
Look at me and see that my whole life I’ve had enough
These are some of my thoughts, while I’m just trying to live it up
And I swear sometimes, but who honestly gives a fuck?
Man, the shit I go through, you can say it’s so pathetic
But I guess the more I go through makes me more poetic
So tease me, hate me, watch me explode
Do whatever you want; it'll help me write these poems
Sometimes I wanna’ snap out, blow up, but I don’t
I would if I could, but I can’t so I won’t

[Chorus/Hook]: Alex-Ander
So I need to stand up, ‘cause right now it's essential
I gotta’ keep going, but I have no potential
Does life have a definition?
Maybe I should go and check my own intuition
There's nothing like luck
I guess I gotta’ stand up


[Verse 2]: Switch
I always tell myself, that I need to stay positive
I'm just a one man team, I try to do right as I live
But get caught in a dream, caught up in a fantasy
Where none of us are mean, and we speak with honesty
But I know it'll never be, Just look at us honestly
And I grew up way to fast, seem's to be haunting me
And I flew to go and crash, remembering my memories
And I look at myself now, and say do I remember me
Need to stop and say wow, how can this all really be
The world can be destroyed, by us more importantly
I remember being at school, and the kids pointing at me
Pushing and laughing at me, kicking walking pass me
I thought they were happy, and yet there weren't sadly
There life's just as crappy, so I let them get mad at me
I know I'm a better person, know that I have morals
I know that it can worsen, I'll be strong and stand up

[Chorus/Hook]: Alex-Ander
So I need to stand up, ‘cause right now it's essential
I gotta’ keep going, but I have no potential
Does life have a definition?
Maybe I should go and check my own intuition
There's nothing like luck
I guess I gotta’ stand up

[Switch]
Somedays I'm just fed up, I wanna to say shut up
But I need to just stand up, be proud of who I am
Be proud of what I can do, and don't take any shit
And I'll never cave in, they won't get me to quit (x2)
