Every Man for Himself Songtext

Every Man for Himself Songtext
Another long drive through the cityscape
Streets jet black like wet paint
Two hours ′til daybreak, the whole city's vacated
Only time I feel halfway sane
I′ve learned to find comfort in loneliness
Quarantined from all this unholiness
I find solace in solitude, apart from the multitude
Hide camouflaged in the foliage
As the wheels spin forward on a new ride
The wheels spin back in my mind's eye
Looking at the buildings, trying to touch the sky
And how they remind me of life
It's been a long, tough, hard-fought solitary climb
Couldn′t have been done without my inner drive
All I had was my will, my muscle, my hustle
My skills, my knuckles, and my mind, right?
It′s not a game to us
I won't let you in, weak around
That′s what the world's all about
It′s just the same with us
I won't let you in, there′s no doubt
It's every man for himself
And the traffic lights swinging like pendulums
I want to give more but I'm hesitant
I′ve been taken advantage of, made an example of
Faced with abandonment and pettiness
So I go back and forth between generous
Distrustful, cynical, and tentative
But it ain′t in my nature to contain all this anger
When I let it go, I just feel emptiness
I can see the future coming from a ways off
Something I can't escape like a freight truck
Since I got no choice, I′ll raise my voice
Somewhere between faith and not giving a fuck
It's hard out here without a little luck
Gotta make your own fortune, hustle bruh
Try your best not to be another customer
Stand up, chin up, face what′s approaching ya
It's not a game to us
I won′t let you in, weak around
That's what the world's all about
It′s just the same with us
I won′t let you in, there's no doubt
It′s every man for himself
Face the world alone
On your own again
Face the world alone
On your own, my friend
It's every man for himself
In a room full of people, still lonely
Afraid of what they will or they won′t say
It's easier to role-play than to find my own way
So I invent a character I portray
I say to myself, "It′s a cold game"
I say, "They can't win if I don't play"
But if I′m just on the sidelines afraid to live my life
Would I be proud in my old age?
The cards you was dealt was the only ones you can play
And folding ain′t an option in this game
But you can't change the rules, refuse to lose
And make the mountains move with your sole strength
′Cause we all really came from the same thing
And we all going back to the same place
And it ain't about you when you′re gone
What you do with the love that you gave is what remains
It's not a game to us
I won′t let you in, weak around
That's what the world's all about
It′s just the same with us
I won′t let you in, there's no doubt
It′s every man for himself
Face the world alone
On your own again
You and me, we got to
You and me, we got to
You and me, we got to
Face the world alone
On your own, my friend
You and me, we got to
You and me, we got to
You and me, we got to
Face the world alone
On your own again
Streets jet black like wet paint
Two hours ′til daybreak, the whole city's vacated
Only time I feel halfway sane
I′ve learned to find comfort in loneliness
Quarantined from all this unholiness
