Henry Rollins - Alien Blueprint lyrics

rate me

You reached out

You got burned

Made tough by the lessons you learned

You never thought they could be so mean

Be so hard and cause you so much pain

Like a fool

You tired again

You really wanted to be their friend

But looking back you see they just wasted your time

Self loathing

The anger inside

You covered it up with pride

You always found a way to blame it on yourself

So mad

So mean

The pain remained unseen

All that time spent up wanting to explode

What they did

The things they said

You wished that you were dead

Anything not to deal with them

They made you hate

You couldn't wait

To go out and do something great

Turn around and throw it right back in their face

Looking back you get yourself together

Looking back you see the hatred inside

Now you see that you get to change your mind about yourself

And get to move on

Looking back you see you just wasted your time

Looking back you can see all you've got is yourself

You can tell by the look in their eyes

Now you see

How you are

The wisdom mixed in with all the scars

Watching all the fools

They never knew

They never do

It was always up to you

You gotta get it for yourself

You never were

One of them

They could have never been our friends

The best revenge is to always survive yourself
