lyrics

Everyday you wake up and your face is a mess.
The swelling gets worse as your color gets less.
You can no longer tell the difference between failure and success.

You slide into the same old booth and roll up your cuffs.
Your intestines turn to mush but you still gotta look tough.
They promised you the stars, but that will never be enough.

So much hate makes my body ache.
I swear I'm gonna bleed out before I break.
Muscles twitch, and fingers shake.
So much hate makes my body ache.
So much hate makes my body ache.

One bite is all it took.
Ate the bait right off the hook.

Vacated wins and a postseason ban.
To get into your room you gotta get a retinal scan.
The people that you used to know won't even shake your hand.

You try hard not to care, and sometimes you succeed.
You think they might not pay attention if you bury the lead.
You spend two or three lonely last weeks at Walter Reed.

So much hate makes my body ache.
I swear I'm gonna bleed out before I break.
Muscles twitch, and fingers shake.
So much hate makes my body ache.
So much hate makes my body ache.
