lyrics

There's a fire in my veins
From this heart that's been burst into flames
It's a reaction that I can't shake
This toxic love affair with my hate

See my old man he was the same
And I wear his ire like I wear his name
Now the car is mine to steer
But my rage is the real driver here

I feel the cry of a new man inside
His hands are tied but I think he's alive

So I'm stuck here at eight years old
The extra twenty with nothing to show
And the dad I once hated is me
And I still hate him

I feel the cry of a new man inside
His hands are tied but I think he's alive

Keep your elbows off the table
I won't tell you twice
Yeah it's like that 'cause I said so
Or you'll pay the price

His hands are tied but I think he's alive
I swear he's alive
If there is a God does he fix broken lives
Can he fix broken lives
Fix my broken life
