A Song by Katie "Shorty" Graham
No matter how he tried it'd just take him back in
Through all the: tears he cried, and blood that dried
He never ever thought that it's come along ooh
The life he wanted was just a dream
Came so close to leaving everyday
And each time it'd stop him in his tracks
Digging deep inside the mind, filling all him with thoughts like: bad
If he had the chance he'd kill himself
Maybe someday hero will come his way until then
Stick with his pain and stay alive just barely, striven
Thinking how could I go on, I can't take no more
What have I got I may as well give up and die
Cause this life is Hard Core uh ooh oh
They threw him everyday and every time
He'd cry for air. He'd just get a blind stare
He needed to breathe, nothing less, than misery
Something just to be free, once and for all
One more hour of giving up and giving in
Just because he wasn't good enough
Just because all he needed was some love
But now I've seen him get back up again
Even though he lost a lot of what he had back then
He's gained some back, and made a few of his own
Now he's stronger than ever, able to fight again
Fist to fist he may be able to live the new life
That he wanted for so long
But he'll never end this Hard Core life of his
He's going on… and on (slower to high voice)
On and on and on and on and on
Oh, oh… (lalalelalalalelalalalelalalala)
He's going to keep on breathing the fresh air he deserves
He's going to keep on leaving to a place to find somewhere, free
Of this animosity, free of all the torture he has endured, free to be
