STOP SIGN

Did you witness me fall from grace in an all too swift demise?

Surrounded by vultures and wolves and their endless lies

I’m a man with a chip on my shoulder and people wonder why

Things don’t always get any easier as you get older, the trick is to try

And rise above the low blows and all the bullshit thrown your way

Never be afraid to show your emotions and have your say

No matter how sensitive the issue for the truth shall prevail

If you get a gut feeling that something’s not quite right, then bail

Better than being cornered or pushed up hard against a rail

May the ship of peace, love and compassion begin to set sail

I've been stuck in the fieriest part of hell with no fucking escape route

People would walk all over me, they'd ring a bell and I would follow suit

But I've learnt a lesson every time I fell, no more shall they tell me what to do

I shall choose what I want to choose and that is to stay the fuck away from you

Do away with all the negative energy, in with the positive

Choose today to walk away from your enemies, choose to live

The life you’ve always wanted to live: free from exploitation

You’ve got it in you to be strong, stop chasing chemical elevation

To be free from its debilitating, toxic grip is to choose to be free again

It doesn’t matter in the least bit if you slip up every now and then

For nobody is perfect, yes, we are all beholden to different vices

At least if you make a go of it, there can no longer be any surprises

The time is now to break free from it, to try your hardest to fight it

All the indiscretions of shit cunts should duly be noted and counted

I've been stuck in the fieriest part of hell with no fucking escape route

People would walk all over me, they'd ring a bell and I would follow suit

But I've learnt a lesson every time I fell, no more shall they tell me what to do

I shall choose what I want to choose and that is to stay the fuck away from you

Life is a rocky road waiting to be negotiated and conquered

In order to overcome its test, ties with fuckheads must be severed

Don’t let them use and abuse you to the point that you blow your fuse

You can be kind and generous and not be taken advantage of too

You simply have to break away from a scene full of mean, heartless people

If your holy steeple is not surrounded by them, then they can do no evil

You don’t have to feel helpless and feeble to change the course of history

That they will turn on you and burn and exploit you is no real mystery

Forgive if you like, but make sure their misdeeds are etched in your memory

No longer the passive fool, they will now see stop signs when they look at me

I've been stuck in the fieriest part of hell with no fucking escape route

People would walk all over me, they'd ring a bell and I would follow suit

But I've learnt a lesson every time I fell, no more shall they tell me what to do

I shall choose what I want to choose and that is to stay the fuck away from you
