Suffer + Toil Lyrics by The Zells

Ant Farm

0

[Intro]
Can you promise me that?
Can you look me in the eye and can you promise me that—
That it all means something
And that my whole bullshit life
Is just a bad start to a really incredible Cinderella story?
Can— Can— Can you promise me that?
[Verse 1]
Waking up, it's hard enough to get my-
Self out of bed right now
Everything is lost and lacking core
Predetermined by design
I don't like that, 'cause who needs it?
To breathe in something freeing
A mind at peace
Pull your head out your ass
[Chorus]
Nothing in life is free
You suffer and toil until you die
That's how it's always been
What? Do you think you're better than history?
Yeah, there's a hope in me
To break the chains
And pick up the pieces and proceed
To move ahead (Make time)
Don't second guess (Burned by design)
Some things in life (Decide)
Are left best not to be repeated (Left best not to be repeated)
[Verse 2]
This house is broken, no foundation at all
Living on borrowed time
Paintings hang crooked on the walls
Been tacked down for ages now
'Cause why would we address it?
Comfort godhead supreme
A life at ease
Not so simple yet
[Chorus]
Everything has a price
And no we can't guarantee it all
That's just the breaks there, kid
You should have been born in a different class
Fuck that, I won't relent
Or compromise
No, I won't give in, I will continue
The fight (Defy)
Take my whole life (Deep down inside)
To refine (Revive)
Grew a spine so I can chase what's right
