Rookie

[Verse 1]

I never thought this could be me

I guess you never do

'Til it's happening to you

Like all the fun turns into shame

And all the could-have-beens

Rearrange

So little time, so many crimes

Guilt like a chain

Chokes my will away

Redemption never seemed so cruel

And all my gods

Never seemed so weak

[Chorus]

Wake up, engage

Now derailed and enraged

It used to be so easy

Get up, I'm game

Now I'm sick and I'm tame

Counting cost with lost

[Verse 2]

Where is the hope they gave

And don't think that I can't hear you laugh

I used to be a lot like you, but now I'm only me

I used to be a lot like you, but now I'm only me, I'm only me

Drink to pills, to shots

Turns into shock

A habit and a pawn

For every hand goes round

The pain gets so damn loud

The hammer hits and I'm down, and I'm down, and I'm down, and I'm down

Trust no one, hey, why should I

They gave me the poison dressed like life

Cheated, smacked up and diseased

Cry to sleep and fight to eat

Used to be a pro at this

Now I've broken my own wrist

Rotten teeth and life unsung

You'll forget me when I'm gone

[Chorus]

Wake up, engage

Now derailed and enraged

It used to be so easy

Get up, I'm game

Now I'm sick and I'm tame

Counting cost with lost

I used to be a lot like you, but now I'm only me

I used to be a lot like you, but now I'm only me, I'm only me
