puppets can t control you

One Ok Rock

Beat me, break me down but I m still standing
Picking pieces off the ground again
If one day I fall, just hope I stick the landing
Not at the gates screaming to let me in
But I don t know where to start

Damned if I do, it s way too late to fix it
I ll be damned if I don t, the bane of my existence
They said Damn kid, you gotta try
Even if you never win, you can t pretend
You ll never be happy again

Clip his wings, he don t deserve the halo
I m losing faith in everyone again
If the TV stations sell their lies on cable
Then we re so blind that we ll be tuning in
But I don t know where to start

Damned if I do, it s way too late to fix it
I ll be damned if I don t, the bane of my existence
They said Damn kid, you gotta try
Even if you never win, you can t pretend
You ll never be happy ag-

Holding on to nothing
Till it turns into something
Don t like who I m becoming
I can t keep running
Searching for an answer
Re-reading every chapter
There s no happy ever after when it s over

Damned if I do, it s way too late to fix it
I ll be damned if I don t, the bane of my existence
They said Damn kid, you gotta try
Even if you never win, you can t pretend
You ll never be happy again
