Blame It On Bad Luck - Bayside

Pound my knuckles hard against the floor

My head against the wall

But I did this to myself

Assume it’s just not worth getting back up

So I’ll blame it on bad luck

And I’ll shake responsibility, yeah

I spent some time in a bad place at 18

Wishing I could see something through clear eyes

Do you ever wake up to realize

That your life is meaningless?

Does it give you strength or lead you to

Your grave at a young age?

Pound my knuckles hard against the floor

My head against the wall

But I did this to myself

Assume it’s just not worth getting back up

So I’ll blame it on bad luck

And I’ll shake responsibility, yeah

It seems that when I ran away from my past

All my dignity, my faith, my pride got left back

And now I think it’s time that I realize

Self pity’s meaningless

Though I’m 10 feet deep

I’ll claw my way back out from in my grave

Pound my knuckles hard against the floor

My head against the wall

But I did this to myself

Assume it’s just not worth getting back up

So I’ll blame it on bad luck

And I’ll shake responsibility

And say a hard life did this to me

Now I realize, I’d give anything I have

To walk a day in my old shoes

Wondering what my first smoke would be like

My first fuck, my next fuck up

The next band that would change my life

And it changed my life

And it changed my life

Pound my knuckles hard against the floor

My head against the wall

But I did this to myself

Assume it’s just not worth getting back up

So I’ll blame it on bad luck

And I’ll shake responsibility

And say a hard life did this to me
