Every-every-everybody's got shit on their plates
Shit on their plates, shit on their plates
Every-everybody's got shit on their plates
Swear down, we're not the only ones
(We're not the only ones)
Ghosts walking in the land of the living
Never trust no one to be forgiving
Wish I could say that I was listening
But I'm still learning how to fit in pieces to a puzzle I didn't start from the beginning
All I see is men afraid to open up
My brother had a girl and he was sane until they broke up
Hooked him on the drugs and he won't sleep until he's smoked up
And he never spoke of how he can't handle his emotions
Clouds gather over men with heavy shoulders holding many boulders
No wonder we're all fucking heavy smokers
Too comfortable to be sober, thoughts are getting colder
Waste away, avoid the talk of how we're getting older
What does it mean to dream big?
The biggest thing that I dream is to not be unhappy like I have been
It's a purpose we all long to behold
And the scars are but a story to be told, here we go (here we go)
Everybody's got something to say and our minds are a loaded gun
(Minds are a loaded gun)
Cos everybody's got shit on their plates and I doubt that we're the only ones
(Doubt that we're the only ones)
Everybody's got debts to erase
Paper to chase and put smiles on their miserable faces and
Everybody's got shit on their plates, I swear down we're not the only ones
(We're not the only ones)
Just a couple of these uppers I take
To tolerate all the stuck-up motherfuckers I hate
Cos everybody's on a path to be great
And only few will make it but even then, they have to learn from mistakes
And I made plenty of those until I emptied my home and I just
Found a place where I could cleanse me of ghosts
I fought through every harsh criticism that they could throw
I took the loss cos how else do you expect me to grow?
In the most wretched of holes the heart sinks when it's pushed to the brink
To go places that the mind shouldn't think
Hence why I weave sadness and depression in ink
It's a reflection of self, no matter how indistinct
But then the pad became my therapist to vent out all my rhetoric
I write until the veins within my hand begin to haemorrhage
Don't keep your art and real life completely separate
Write about when you were desperate just for the hell of it
Everybody's got something to say and our minds are a loaded gun
(Minds are a loaded gun)
Cos everybody's got shit on their plates and I doubt that we're the only ones
(Doubt that we're the only ones)
Everybody's got debts to erase
Paper to chase and put smiles on their miserable faces and
Everybody's got shit on their plates, I swear down we're not the only ones
(We're not the only ones)
You find home in this chaos within your tenement
And only loneliness appeals to your sentiments
Secluded from society, surrendering the benefits
And you just suffer silently cos you don't see the end to this
You've tried the medication and the therapists, been through all the specialists
Does everyone think that you're a pessimist?
And you begin to question if you've lowered in their estimates
You blame it on yourself cos in your head you made a mess of this
I see it often in the friends that I meet
And quite disturbingly the people that I see in the street
I see a lot of fucking people who are totally beat
But they're all adamant against ever admitting defeat, and I
Won't stand for the blind eye
It's high time we put an end to the stigma we're defined by
Every move we made in our lives is undermined by our constant need for a mask for us to hide behind
Everybody's got something to say and our minds are a loaded gun
(Minds are a loaded gun)
Cos everybody's got shit on their plates and I doubt that we're the only ones
(Doubt that we're the only ones)
Everybody's got debts to erase
Paper to chase and put smiles on their miserable faces and
Everybody's got shit on their plates, I swear down we're not the only ones
(We're not the only ones)
Every-every-everybody's got shit on their plates
Shit on their plates, shit on their plates
Every-everybody's got shit on their plates
Swear down, we're not the only ones
(We're not the only ones)
