This Hook Is For You

This Hook Is For You


I can’t write a song that anyone would like
Cause im so self absorbed in this pitiful life
The meaning of the lyrics I always seem to write
Can’t keep people dancing through out the night

This hook is for you
This is not for me
This look is my proof
Open your eyes to see

No I’m not a super hero with words of flame
Or a leader of nations with a famous name
My point of view is skewed and full of shame
With a fortune of shattered mirrors I claim

This hook is for you
Forget about me
This is your proof
For you to finally see

That just maybe what I have
Is worth a thousand words
Deeper than blood and bone
Deeper than what has been shown

I can’t write something I will eventually forget
Sing a thousand words just to end in regret

This hook is for you
This is not for me
This look is my proof
Open your eyes to see
This hook is for you
Forget about me
This is your proof
For you to finally see

Me.
