anthony jay sanders - i could pass tonight lyrics

[verse 1]
i was born, then i started growing up
i was curious and loud in spite of all “enough’s enough”s
it was just how i was built
jay sanders and catherine wilt
it made me an easy target when i talked
i was tall, but i’d get pushed until my face hit a sidewalk
i was kicked while i was down
my name no longer proper noun
though i was chipped, i wasn’t chopped down yet
i posed a point i would not soon forget

[chorus]
i’ll never quit
it’s gonna take a lot more than that
no, i won’t go out so fast
i was built to last
i don’t give up
i’m a river with an ocean end
and though i could p-ss tonight
i won’t go without a fight

[verse 2]
with all that said, school was always difficult
i didn’t know about the parts of me that wanted revolt
i was eaten by the dull
i was irresponsible
with each failed cl-ss, i dug a hole a few more feet
i was embarr-ssed and would keep all of my f’s discreet
i had let my teachers down
my name no longer proper noun
but i bit my tongue and p-ssed by skin of teeth
and now i sing what used to live beneath

[verse 3]
speaking of songs, from when i was nine to now
i would crease a cd sleeve with my guitar out
i’d write songs as best i could
formed a band like my heroes would
there were those who thought i sang like an anglophile
they didn’t like my teen dreams or my words or style
i was just only a kid, ambitious and insipid
but as i grew, i seemed to hit my mark
’til my wheels fall off, i won’t stop spouting sparks

[verse 4]
i got fired for the first time at twenty-one
the second city threw a brick weighing twenty tons
it’s the only job i’ve lost
i was my own nightmare boss
so i got myself a job at the old town school
money’s always been a game, i can’t dodge the rules
i took every chance i saw
all my friends were rabbits’ paws
and soon enough, they called on me for work
and i begged n-body, persistence has its perks

[verse 5]
out of shape, i spent my whole life being so
i’ve been approachable and moldable and almost dough
i’ve felt bad in my own skin and the clothes i don’t fit in
i’ve felt sick and depressed in the realest way
all of the toxins that i’ve taken in have come to stay
i care less for how i look
it’s my insides that have me shook
but now i’m running, eating better, and it feels great
i will never let my health disintegrate
