Bottom Of The Barrell:

Ever felf like you were at the bottom of the barrell?/
Stuck in the corner when shits got you in a quarrell?
Scratching notes on the wall, using only your nails/
Branded a 'Fuck-up' when everything you know fails/
but at least that what your toe tag reads/
And you start to lose faith when your thumbnail bleeds/
it just leaves you numb, dumb-down, contemplating suicide/
Like leaving this world would lead you to a better life/
In this Dog-Eat-Dog world, You should know your Biology/
Your bleeding yourself dry, writing your Autobiography/
"Its got to be written, the mistake cant be made twice"
But who really want to take in a 'fuck-up's' advice/
your stuck in the same state, you need to escape/
not progressing so far, so your filled with hate/
your waiting around for someone to pass you a freebie/
its survival of the fittest and your making this easy/

(Chorus) Stand tall through it all, even ball a fist/
To win this challenge, you got to go through all of it/
Its Stranger than Fiction and your Starring, Will Ferrell/
Reach for the top at the bottom of the barrel/


Ever felt like you wanna bare-knuckle brawl/
Fight a emo kid at the Hot Topic at the mall/
Give the sensitive a real reason to bawl/
for fighting for your right, without even having a cause/
I pause, Breath deep, then i count to five/
start thinking happy thoughts before i lose my mind/
i saw the sign, but it didnt open my eyes/
The sign behind it read that "It was all full of lies."/
Compromise yourself from whatever you were going to be/
for acceptance of the masses or at least in your community/
The scrutiny of the majority of everyday society/
make individuality caught on their own vanity/
Prep / Goth? I hear the shit and i scoff/
Hate the world but you love the shirt that you bought./
Caught in the strings of your very own dream catcher/
But the one that was caught wasnt the one that you were after/

Ever felt like you wanted to destroy something beautiful/
Its like a motion picture with the state-of-the-art visuals/
caught in awe, but im the only one standing/
its seems like life needs a little man-handling/
an eye for a eyes, it just leaves us both blind/
but still you fell the same pain in my mind/
sometimes you feel like theres nothing behind the door/
your not solo, everyone been there before/
