The Rock Chap - Liquid Instinct

Once upon a time
I lived off easy meat
But in this life
Nothing comes for free
It cost me money, cost me time
I lost my body, lost my mind
The less I gave, the more I had to hide

It dragged me round and burned me out at both ends
And cut me down like some fairweather friend

(I was)
Falling, falling
Crawlin', crawlin'
But I finally set myself free
(They keep)
Calling, calling
Callig', calling
But I'll answer to no-one but me
No-one but me

So here I stand
Stripped of all my lies
A one man band
Exposed but satisfied
Cut me loose off of the leash
Sever my ties and free the beast
The less I have
The more and more I see

I put myself back together so late
But at the end of the day at least I made my escape

(I was)
Falling, falling
Crawlin', crawlin'
But I finally set myself free
(They keep)
Calling, calling
Calling, calling
But I'll answer to no-one but me
No-one but me

I severed all the relationships that I ever had
Including my best mate, his family and even my Dad
I'd reject the best people that I had in my life
And wonder why I'm 25 with no job and no wife
I thought the little that I gave would mask all my mistakes
But that wasn't the case 'cos all I did was take
Still I thought I could erase it, rearrange it or just fake it,
When that didn't work I had to step back and break it
I took myself off of Tinder and stopped the late night texts
'Cos I spunked all my energy chasing S-E-X
Nevertheless
I got my head in the game, but when I look back to those days man it fills me with shame
Stumbling round the bars like some drunken clown
Making a fool of myself and bringing everyone down
Blowing all my money buying round after round
Thinking I looked so fucking cool but weighing 140 pounds

I put myself back together so late
But at the end of the day at least I made my escape

(I was)
Falling, falling
Crawlin', crawlin'
But I finally set myself free
(They keep)
Calling, calling
Calling, calling
But I'll answer to no-one but me
No-one but me
