I know the sink and the rot gut feeling...
"Is this happening to me?"
and i know what it's like to want to end it all

Driving home between the lines in the road,
I swear that i've been through this before.
When nothing makes much sense except for doing yourself in
but razor blades are hard to hold

When we're hit in the heart with
Problems that won't shift
It's hard to admit we are afraid
When we're hit in the head with
Unanswered questions that repeat:
"How could i live after this day?"

We can take the hits and grow tougher
Collect ourselves to live longer
and find there is no need to be afraid
because we all have more to offer
when we struggle to cope with
whatever it takes to make the days

We all have what it takes to make the days
we all have what it takes to make it home
We all have what it takes

    Pain is so repetetive, and it makes one want to hurt themself even more. But the writer isn't wallowing in self pity and eventual mutilation, he relates and gives hope to the listener.
    We can take the hits and grow tougher collect ourselves to live longer and find there is no need to be afraid because we all have more to offer when we struggle to cope with whatever it takes to make the says we all have what it takes to make it home.
    Awesome song, it cheers up up and rocks me out. I love the bass intro. It's so incredibly hot. Ahh.

    General Comment:That song "emo" is actually titled You Can Take The Boy Out of Bradenton. Some moron mistitled it.
