Genesis Lyrics

I had to give up on genesis

For reasons in looking back weren’t completely legitimate

And I know that she deserved better than me

Well maybe that’s just the voice that

I shouldn’t be listening to

Cause I know I can be insecure

A people pleaser, when I’m bad it’s worse

I’ll take out my anger in anger on me

Knowing damn well that I can’t live up to the standards I believe in

All of the words fall flat

And my dreams lose all fheir meaning

When I can’t find my way

When I’m lost in the in between, can’t make a sound, I can’t scream

When nothing is left but nothing

And I’ve forgotten who I am

I’ll always remember when I fell short, but now it’s time to make it better

I had to give up on sentiments

For reasons that I didn’t want to be sensitive

Be called soft or hard, I know for me

All I wanted what was real, but what was real didn’t want me

Telling a lie to mask the pain inside

All of the difficult conversations that I avoided every time

And for what to push out the love I knew

Out of the fear that I couldn’t brave the flame cause it can burn you too

They said I was real, but could I be fake too

How do I face the different faces whenever I look in the mirror it’s hazy

To be there for all of the people I need

To take care of my family, cause that’s the only way I can call myself a man

I had to give up on genesis

For reasons in looking back weren’t completely legitimate

And I know that she deserved better than me

Well maybe that’s just the voice that

I shouldn’t be listening to
