I saw you walking on the street today, you know we don’t give a shit about you
Your swollen head and attitude are the only things that are coming through
Pull back cause it’s coming around and the hammer’s gonna fall
The crashing tides will pull you down and as you reach for air, we’ll watch you lose it all
Hard times on streets today when everyone’s up against you
You’re too thick to comprehend why no one cares what you say or do
Look up because it’s raining down and you might get washed away
You’ll hit the bottom with no way out and slowly realize that’s where you’ll stay
Well I know this world could take you out today
What’s next? Step back and watch it come to crush your reality
They’ll bleed you dry
‘Cause your words fall short with every last breath
And you can’t see eye to eye
They’re coming to break you
They’ll bleed you dry
When your words fall short with every last breath
You can kiss your life goodbye
We tried hard to explain to you but the words just didn’t get through
The arrogance and attitude both shut it down so now it’s all on you
Hold on the best you can as the wind blows down your walls
You’ll see the start of your demise, when you turn around you’ll see your future fall
Well I saw this world just take you out today
That’s it, you’re crushed, there’s no more time to live your fantasy
