lyrics

Punch in the Face

I fell apart, I came down hard
and what was once my healthy life is gone, gone
there's just a shred beyond the dread
that keeps me hanging on

so I will hang in and try to be brave
I won't give in, no, I will not cave
I'll do what I have to and then I'll take the dive
cuz it's the punch in the face you get for trying to feel alive
yeah, it's the punch in the face you get for trying to feel alive

damned if I do, damned if I don't
I can't say I wouldn't but I won't say I won't
drag myself from this sick bed again
excuse me, I'm screaming

I will hang in and try to be brave
I won't give in, no, I will not cave
I'll do what I have to and then I'll take the dive
it's the punch in the face you get for trying to feel alive
yeah, it's the punch in the face you get for trying to feel alive

I have crashed, there's no doubt
so how long will it be before I crawl out
and make this nightmare disappear
cuz damn damn damn damn damn, it's still here

I fell apart, I came down hard
and what was once my healthy life is gone, gone
there's just a shred beyond the dread
that keeps me hanging on

so I will hang in and try to be brave
I won't give in, no, I will not cave
I'll do what I have to and then I'll take the dive
cuz it's the punch in the face you get for trying to be alive
yeah, it's the punch in the face you get for trying to feel alive
yeah, it's the punch in the face you get for trying to feel alive
