Your Life, Your Nutshell

I have been through it all, lies and deceit Many times I have suffered from defeat Abused, harassed, and mentally torn In my heart is where you'll find a thorn Never again shall I fall I'm done being played like a voodoo doll Rebels and outcasts, hear this now Only give in to what you allow Life, in a nutshell, is hard to crack Take a look inside to find what you lack Imperfect perfection is all you know Breaking your chains while learning to grow Self-afflicted battles that turn into war Are just another way they settle the score Feasting upon you, tormenting ways Giving you hell each and every day Don't give them a reason, hide your fears Show only strength, never show your tears Bullied by the wretched is not your role Set life straight with a new goal Life, in a nutshell, is hard to crack Take a look inside to find what you lack Imperfect perfection is all you know Breaking your chains while learning to grow Now is the time to show what's inside This is not the time to run and hide Prepare for the battle, this is your cue No need for instruction, you know what to do Go Take it all back, your pride's at stake Show everyone out there you're not a fake No time to be a martyr, keep on strong Prove everyone who called you weak fucking wrong Push through your fears until the end The heart will not easily mend Life, in a nutshell, is hard to crack Take a look inside to find what you lack Imperfect perfection is all you know Breaking your chains while learning to grow
