Bootstraps by eFFeX Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Going thru the motions
Floating in an ocean
Holding on to hope but no one else got the notion
I'm frozen in my zone, feeling broken to the bone
My hemoglobin flowing but no Oxytocin showing
Numb like overdosing on stolen hydrocodone
Mixed with Ibuprofen potion in corrosive body lotion
Feeling nothing like a trojan
No forward locomotion
My slogan is demotion
It's an omen of corrosion
I'm wasted
But its not about the chemicals
Fading
Separating from my pinnacle
I tasted
The nectar of forbidden fruit
And created
A disaster with the residue
Now I'm jaded
Cuz it really wasn't edible
Degraded
And my deficits are plentiful
Invaded
By the medical professionals
I traded
My potential for the clinical
When I can't find my way stand right up and say
[Hook]
Buck up
Little sucker buck up
Stand tough
Cause the going can get rough
Man up
Stand up and put your hands up
Grab your bootstraps and then you pull yourself up
Stay up
And make your way up
Wake up
The day has come to raise up
Nut up
It's time to find your way above
Grab your bootstraps and then you pull yourself up
[Verse 2]
Sailing thru this hell
My ailments all prevail
Feeling frail, hella bare, wonder where the hell was prayer
I stare thru the hail through the vail to despair
I swear on every snare ain't no stair to get me there
I'm a snail on the tail of a giant killer whale
Flipped high up in the air
With no guidance for the trail
As I'm flying I prepare to land in nightmares
I'd bail on the plans but they forever right there
Coming down is the hardest part
Running round with a starving heart
And when I perish the harvest starts
In death remembered as the darkest star
I told ya
I already know I'm done
Its over
Ain't no way to overcome
Not a soldier
Still play with loaded guns
Time to fold up
Never was the chosen one
I'm older
And I ain't never going home
Bipolar
Major error in my chromosomes
Shown up
I couldn't hold my own
Roaming thru the coldest zone
A broken home
So alone
When I can't find my way, stand right up and say
[Hook]
Buck up
Little sucker buck up
Stand tough
Cause the going can get rough
Man up
Stand up and put your hands up
Grab your bootstraps and then you pull yourself up
Stay up
And make your way up
Wake up
The day has come to raise up
Nut up
It's time to find your way above
Grab your bootstraps and then you pull yourself up
Going thru the motions
Floating in an ocean
Holding on to hope but no one else got the notion
I'm frozen in my zone, feeling broken to the bone
My hemoglobin flowing but no Oxytocin showing
Numb like overdosing on stolen hydrocodone
Mixed with Ibuprofen potion in corrosive body lotion
Feeling nothing like a trojan
