Alien Blueprint Lyrics - Singles - Henry Rollins

You reached out 

You got burned 

Made tough by the lessons you learned 

You never thought they could be so mean 

Be so hard and cause you so much pain 

Like a fool 

You tired again 

You really wanted to be their friend 

But looking back you see they just wasted your time 

Self loathing 

The anger inside 

You covered it up with pride 

You always found a way to blame it on yourself 

So mad 

So mean 

The pain remained unseen 

All that time spent up wanting to explode 

What they did 

The things they said 

You wished that you were dead 

Anything not to deal with them 

They made you hate 

You couldn't wait 

To go out and do something great 

Turn around and throw it right back in their face 

Looking back you get yourself together 

Looking back you see the hatred inside 

Now you see that you get to change your mind about yourself 

And get to move on 

Looking back you see you just wasted your time 

Looking back you can see all you've got is yourself 

You can tell by the look in their eyes 

Now you see 

How you are 

The wisdom mixed in with all the scars 

Watching all the fools 

They never knew 

They never do 

It was always up to you 

You gotta get it for yourself 

You never were 

One of them 

They could have never been our friends 

The best revenge is to always survive yourself
