“Hey kid (hey kid) Do I have your attention? I know the way you've been living Life's so reckless, tragedy endless Welcome to the family Hey There's something missing Only time will alter your vision Never in question, lethal injection Welcome to the family Not long ago you find the answers were so crystal clear Within a day you find yourself living in constant fear Can you look at yourself now, can you look at yourself? You can't win this fight In a way it seems there's no one to call When our thoughts are so numb And our feelings unsure We all have emptiness inside, we all have answers to find But you can't win this fight Hey kid (hey kid) I have to question What's with the violent aggression Details blurry, lost him too early Welcome to the family Hey Why won't you listen? Can't help the people you're missing It's been done, a casualty rerun Welcome to the family I try and help you with the things that can't be justified I need to warn you that there is no way to rationalize So have you figured it out now, so have you figured it out? You can't win this fight And in a way it seems there's no one to call When our thoughts are so numb And our feelings unsure We all have emptiness inside, we all have answers to find But you can't win this fight! Here for you and all mankind, I've lost my mind Psychotic rounds in rabid dementia I won't be fine I see you're a king who's been dethroned Cast out in a world you've never know Stand down, place your weapon by your side It's our war in the end, we'll surely lose but that's alright So have you figured it out now, so have you figured it out? And in a way it seems there's no one to call When our thoughts are so numb And our feelings unsure We all have emptiness inside, we all have answers to find But you can't win this fight Deep inside where nothing's fine I've lost my mind You're not invited, so step aside I've lost my, Deep inside where nothing's fine I've lost my mind You're not invited, so step aside I've lost my”
