SPEAK FOR YOURSELF (Pelletier)

Now first of all, we all became what we never really wanted to be.
We caught on fire and burned awhile
before drowning ourselves in the sea.
I had a dream of the scene from a while ago,
it chilled me right to the core,
but before I could think twice
another brother rolled the dice
and he knocked my ass out on the floor.
Now my ears are ringing, my mouth is dry, and my vision is fading to black.
The devil took my soul (he was expecting a meal, but barely even got a snack).
I tried to hold on tight to the night and fight the overwhelming urge to beat,
but before I could think twice another brother rolled the dice
and he knocked my ass flat on the street.

Speak for yourself, with out help,
because you’re getting none of that from me.
Speak for yourself, because it helps
to turn you loose and set me free.

Now second of all, we all come to follow the people who we used to fear.
We’re straight blowing them up to the size of gods,
and not letting our kids go near.
I felt bigger then and smaller when I was held and compared to some,
but before I could think twice
another brother rolled the dice
and asked me point blank where I came from.

Now the time has come to get serious,
and the time has come to get grave.
The time has come to stop having fun,
and try to salvage anything we can save.
I was scared that all we’d do is become what we never really wanted to be,
but before I could think twice another brother rolled the dice
and started sock-sock-socking it to me.
Speak for yourself, with out help,
because you’re getting none of that from me.
Speak for yourself, because it helps
to turn you loose and set me free.
