your footsteps, always too big
these shoes, they never fit
expectations and the weight
it’s sometimes hard to breath
and every day I tried so hard
it was never good enough
have you ever looked at me
and tried to see what I see
this is maybe the first time you hear it
but also the last time I sing it
all my life I was trying to get your eyes on me
but I has never been easy for me
to be the man that you want me to be
to be the man that you want me to be
to be the man that you want me to be
to be the man that I will never be
never be
and the irony is
I became more like you
than I wanted to be
but I guess it’s just the way
things are supposed to be
we are all our fathers’ sons
we all do what we can
whatever this means by now
this is maybe the first time you hear it
but it’s the last time I sing it
this is maybe the first time you hear it
this is the last time I sing it
all my life I was trying to get your eyes on me
but I has never been easy for me
to be the man that you want me to be
to be the man that you want me to be
to be the man that you want me to be
to be the man that I will never be
never be
Aggressive, intense, extreme music (punk, hardcore, metal) should be raw and bullshit free, stripped of self-indulgent "mood setting" riffs and arrangements to produce its effect. PUNCH and "They Don't Have to Believe" is a paradigm of this ethos 'par excellence' as they say. _teeth
