lyrics

My dad left home when I was around 6 or 7 years old. I never really had a huge influential male role model in my life. I still to this day fight to not let that define me. Somedays I feel like I turned out okay, others not so much. Once I had found punk rock and skateboarding it felt like those worlds raised me and it was the only light that I had to turn to. They had been my compass pointing me to my true north for all of those years. I pledge to not continue the abandonment cycle with my own sons and vow to be in their lives in some shape or form until my last day on this earth. I hope that I leave a positive impact on them and their future no matter how hard life can get.

LYRICS:
No one ever showed me
the man I was supposed to become.
No heroes to look up to,
zero guidance or advice.

Momma always had to work,
because our Daddy was a fool.
He turned tail and ran like the worst of them.

All those years on my own, my own,
just trying to figure something out.
Just hoping life would make some sense,
but it never added up.

I just wanna be proud of something
before the big sleep and I’m gone.
I wanna feel like I made my mark on this world.
This mad world.

But I just can’t shake this feeling
that I can’t do anything right. Sad Boy.
I think I’m trying hard but maybe I’m wrong.

All I had were my LPs,
and a skateboard to run away on.
Only things in my life I could count on.

All those years on my own, my own,
just trying to figure something out.
Just hoping life would make some sense,
but it never added up.

I just wanna be proud of something
before the big sleep and I’m gone.
I wanna feel like I made my mark on this world.
This mad world.

But I just can’t shake this feeling
that I can’t do anything right. Sad Boy.
I think I’m trying hard but maybe I’m wrong.

I didn’t choose this life,
but maybe it chose me.
For better or for worse,
this is the path laid out for me.

The fight is real every day.
Every day, every day.
The fight is real every day. Every day.

I just wanna be proud of something
before the big sleep and I’m gone.
I wanna feel like I made my mark on this world.
This mad world.

But I just can’t shake this feeling
that I can’t do anything right. Sad Boy.
I think I’m trying hard but maybe I’m wrong.
Maybe I’m right.
