ROAR-for It's a KNOCKOUT comp.
I know right now
everything seems gray
and you're feeling powerless
at just 17, you've already seen
and experienced so much suffering
and you don't seem to catch a break
you've witnessed the deaths
of the ones you love
and most of them still breathe
you want to be heard
but your voice is weak
your words ineffectual
you let others do the talking for you
you lust for glory
but you lack the courage
to just go for it
you missed a lot of opportunities
but listen,
there's no point in
dwelling on all that
you will find your strength
you will become strong
because you know what it's like
to be powerless
you will be fearless
because you know what it's like
to be frozen in its grip
you won't have an easy life
but your life will be full of color again
though there will be lots of red
and if you keep your heart open
you'll find a lot of love
just waiting for you to come across it
just try not to let it rule your decisions
but none of it is going to come
from moping around the house
getting stoned and playing Xbox
I know that you've never liked conflict
but life itself is a struggle
you've got to fight for anything worthwhile
and don't be so hard on yourself
remember that you are a proud lion
you're king of the fucking jungle
let the world hear you fucking ROAR!
