Robert LaSalle - Sandpaper Lyrics

I'm through with all that I could ever do
Life has always been a little held up
A farce: the hand from above
A forced superficial love
When food and shelter aren't enough
To keep me tame and humble
Now I sleep and now I stumble
Became weak and then I crumbled
I once screamed (This is art!)
But now I mumble (It's just entertainment)
I won't meet your expectations (Ooh, not good enough)
Won't bow to the cliche (Ooh, don't give a f*ck)
Let's all rise for the occasion (Ooh)
Oh, this divine realization that I'm through
Oh, I'm through
Oh, now I'm through
I'm through
Oh, now I'm through
Lift a glass in celebration
Here's the toast
I'm going to say it!
I'm through with my shallow muse
I'm through with you
I'll waste away
Embracing every vice I keep
Forget my insecurities
The bottle lifts anxiety
Can't fix me with sobriety
I'll drift into oblivion
Let me drift, don't reel me in
Don't need responsibility
The tasks of mere civility (Ooh)
Got me stuck in this vicious (What everybody wants)
Life of fake ambition (But everybody sucks)
I'm sick of part-time living (Shake it off)
Well, I failed at all I attempted
So, I'm through
Oh, I'm through
Oh, now I'm through
I'm through
Oh, now I'm through
Oh, now I'm through
Refill the bitter with sweet relief
And cheers to victory masked defeat!
I'm through
With remnants of roots I grew
I wrote that shit for
You and all the populous (Ooh, f*ck you)
Commercial scum
That'll rot and rust (F*ck me too)
It's in my rear-view mirror
Well, I don't like it either
Well, I'm through
Well, I'm through
Oh, now I'm through
(I'm through)
Oh, now I'm through
I'm through
Oh, now I'm through
Oh, now I'm through
(Fame is but a fruit tree)
Oh, now I'm through
(It goes like this, the minor fall, the major lift)
Oh, now I'm through
(I knew as a child just what I'd do)
Oh, how I knew
(It doesn't mean a damn to you)
Oh, now I'm through
(Everybody who hears it thinks that they can do it too)
See monkey, do (Ha ha ha!)
(Gotta dream big, kid, gotta dream big)
They won't come true
(Ten years is enough of that shit!)
Oh, now I'm through
(This ain't art, this is entertainment)
Dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream
They won't come true
Dream, dream, dream
Oh, now I'm through
