Jaws Of Life Lyrics - Singles - Before Braille

I'm caught up in the jaws of life 

What can heal can also tear you up inside 

Writing down your own anthem 

You don't like the older one 

I would stand at attention for less than minimum 

Wage your own forgotten wars 

Trade honor for canker sores 

Ghostly pride with matching tours 

You're childish without the joy 

I know that I said I would change 

I know that I haven't changed 

A shoulder to lean on and then break/embrace 

I'm barely breathing with my status day to day 

Caught off guard by innocence 

I cross my heart you influences pull you down 

I swear it's not the fault of mine or of the fault of anyone 

So tell me what the guilt feels like 

Are you swallowed in the jaws of life 

When you strip people down 

you'll see how they don't need their cover 

Is it clear and defined when fists from a simple conflict rise 

And we turn into monsters we thought were once extinct. 

(I could tell you things to shock you too)
