Fuck It All

from sire by Jamie Greer

about

Many times when you're a sufferer with bi-polar, talking yourself down (and tearing yourself down) become second nature. As I was starting to pull myself up, sometimes the voices in my head would try and talk the darker ones into pulling themselves up instead of continuously trying to drag me down.

lyrics

Remember that time when you had it all?
Then everything crashed like a wrecking ball
They said that pride goes before the fall
You turned your back and said “Fuck it all”

Look at you all with your whithered pale faces
Just zombie-ing round to your old routine places
With something to say and with something to hide
Afraid of the change and of what you may find

There's dreams you've forgotten and whispers unheard
Opportunities fleeting like slight startled birds
Maybe you should have held on to it more
Instead of just watching it walk out the door

Remember that time when you had it all?
Then everything crashed like a wrecking ball
They said that pride goes before the fall
You turned your back and said “Fuck it all”

Tell me a joke, story, sing me a tune
Just make me believe that this life you won't ruin
We've all seen the mirror upon that stained wall
Sometimes we look smaller, sometimes we stand tall

Sometimes we wear emperor's clothes on our host
We're naked to some, while gold threaded to most
We walk down the streets thinking we've hit the top
When we should glance kindly but never quite stop

Remember that time when you had it all?
Then everything crashed like a wrecking ball
They said that pride goes before the fall
You turned your back and said “Fuck it all”

There's always a heart that escaped the yard
And nobody said it won't be this hard
Some scars remind us that we have fucked up
And some are reminders we've drank the cup

Remember that time when you had it all?
Then everything crashed like a wrecking ball
They said that pride goes before the fall
You turned your back and said “Fuck it all”
