Du coin de l'oeil dans le miroir

Pound my knuckles hard against the floor
My head against the wall
But I did this to myself
Assume it's just not worth getting back up
So I'll blame it on bad luck
And I'll shake responsibility, yeah

I spent some time in a bad place
At 18
Wishing I could see something through clear eyes
But do you ever wake up to realize
Your life is meaningless?
Does it give you strength or lead you to your grave at a young age?

Pound my knuckles hard against the floor
My head against the wall
But I did this to myself
Assume it's just not worth getting back up
So I'll blame it on bad luck
And I'll shake responsibility, yeah

It seems that when I ran away
From my past
All my dignity, my faith, my pride got left back
But now I think it's time I realize
Self pity's meaningless
Though I'm 10 feet deep
I'll claw my way back out from in my grave

Pound my knuckles hard against the floor
My head against the wall
But I did this to myself
Assume it's just not worth getting back up
So I'll blame it on bad luck
And I'll shake responsibility
And say a hard life did this to me

But now I realize
I'd give anything I have
To walk a day in my old shoes
Wondering what my first smoke would be like,
My first fuck, my next fuck up
The next band that would change my life,
And it changed my life
And it changed my life

Pound my knuckles hard against the floor
My head against the wall
But I did this to myself
Assume it's just not worth getting back up
So I'll blame it on bad luck
I'll shake responsibility
And say a hard life did this to me
