But, I Had a Shotgun in My Mouth

from Even If Alone by Genuine

/

lyrics

Why would my business be yours? Fuck! I’ve never looked into what you think should go in your gut. Why does it matter to you, I live with a completely sober view? It almost killed me! It would have killed me! So I pushed it away, so I could live more free. Let me back up here, there’s some back story. In order to be clear, it gets a bit gory. I had a childhood, living with sadness. I cut up my wrists while pills brought on madness. The pills brought madness. Some of us are all or nothing. Some of us need conviction to cling to. Some of us are all or nothing. Some of us need conviction to cling to. Oh, here we go… the part that stings: where you tell me things about how “you can manage”, ya can “deal with your feelings”. Bullshit! I call bullshit! ‘Cause I had a shotgun in my mouth and things were going South… fast! As a youth, as a child, I needed a plan. And, it wasn’t just gonna’ appear in my hand. So please understand, I saw my own life’s end, right around the bend. Straight Edge I shall defend!

(Some of us are all or nothing)
