Bandages from Red Herring by Damien

with some stubborness and elbow grease
authistic tendencies, eradicate my empathy
as well as pleasantries
made my own remedy, and legacy
devilish therapy, helluva chemistry

Cause no one gonna do all that work for you bro
And I've been in your shoes and it hurts when your told
But if you are consistant then the purpose unfolds
then the journey will eventually, nurture your soul

so when you're gassed out, on your knees, passed out
reach for that inner fire, breathe before that last bout
cause that glory hides deep behind a black cloud
last push, and then I want you to be damn proud

harder, you barely started
you got to go further, a monster
build your armor don't let it tarnish
don't ponder or it be squandered
you gotta conquer, belong here
and keep on workin like you bonkers

But I never wanted you to know
the amount pain I went through
to be standing here, with no bandages
with my fist up in the air
But I never wanted you to know
the trauma behind it all
the reoccuring fall
to be standing tall up here

I have been in doubt, i've faced depression
hated myself when I gave in to deception
made some wrong turns,and I met redemption
got a selection, now here's my confession

resistance when I started and ridiculed in progress
got some plastic love when abilities where harnessed
repeated what i wanted, until it made me vomit
hang out with the real ones that give it to you honest

it's so easy to roll around in jealousy
a low balling tendendency, that no one should every feel
and you should always go forward mentally
you're the opponent, your own worst enemy

grind, eat, sleep, repeat
never wanna settle it is incomplete
never gonna hear me on a simple beat
never gonna want no fucking symphaties
walking though my legs hurt
reverse the fucking bell curve
there's nothing here called less work
you do it for your selfworth

But I never wanted you to know
the amount pain I went through
to be standing here, with no bandages
with my fist up in the air
But I never wanted you to know
the trauma behind it all
the reoccuring fall
to be standing tall up here
