Rivets Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Indecision
Running thru my mind
Just like the blood inside my veins
I have to get it together and throw this shit fucking away

Responsibility
Stressing all my nerves
Making my body weak again

A have to get it together and throw this shit fucking away

I'm getting better with my life
Starting to control Â'till everything is alright
I'll get all bad things together and throw this shit fucking away

Insecurity
Coming to my mind

When something important is to say
I have to get it together and throw this shit fucking away
