Knuckle Puck Lyrics
Where's your respect?
And didn't your father teach you anything before he left?
I'm not coming back, oh no, I'm not coming back, not coming back
My mind was a fortress you knew how to rupture
Flanking the trenches and storming my bunker
Day after day, I face the wrath of what I've made
But I never thought I could feel this way at 19.
Every word she said, like knives in the back of my head
Over and over she said I'm just not cut for the weather
So take your wedding bands and your drunken friends
'Cause I just can't keep you together
I'm no good, you're no better.
It's people just like you
Who made me the pessimist I am
I'm lower than the dirt
With no roots left to find
It's nice to know I wasn't worth the seven digit let down
I was left out in the cold
[2x]
It's people just like you who made me the pessimist I am.
Every word she said, like knives in the back of my head
Over and over she said I'm just not cut for the weather
So take your wedding bands and your drunken friends
'Cause I just can't keep you together
I'm no good, you're no better.
Don't point your unloaded gun at my head ever again.
Don't point your unloaded gun at my head, 'cause I'll pull the trigger.

This is horrible. I don't like the music, but the vocals are even worse. I think it's a combination of them all.. lyrics, music, vocals, add up to one horrible song.

Nice reference ;)

I love how his vocals are mostly clean with a touch of dirt; aggressive but not overbearing.
