Casey Bolles - Potential lyrics

rate me

I built myself up from broken parts

But an autoclave is a good place to start

The more I write, the more I feel like a fraud

Playin' with fire, not prayin' to a god

They say hell is a place where the devil makes

Somethin' u luv into somethin' u hate

But I have grown happy in ruts of repetitive shame

But I've got good bones

I tore myself down into broken parts

This well-oiled machine was a good place to start

Pep-talks wasted in prep school

That ego strokin' cesspool

Left me with spit-shine on these new shoes

I neva wore them right so I sing my blues

Security is expensive

I'm on a conveyer belt to a life I don't wanna live

'Bootstraps' 'the American dream'

Well I've spent enough time with gravel in my knees

To know these streets aren't gold

They're asphalt and concrete

Ur sufferin' is not unique

Trade comfort for sweat and trade blood in for ink

I've got good bones

Aesthetically, I cannot compete

My muscles have near atrophied

But I've got good bones

Potential
