Polyfilla Lyrics

[00:20.00] Uh, trying not to be the man I didn't want to be
[00:23.68] To be the person that you want to see
[00:25.70] Uh, the night falls, I'm the one you meet
[00:28.34] Stopping at the shops and buying something sweet
[00:30.93] Uh, yo, I was willing, we was able, uh
[00:33.93] Put a living on the table
[00:36.04] Uh, the little image that I cradle
[00:38.69] To empathise with the villains in the fable
[00:41.29] That we relate to because it shapes you
[00:43.89] I started doing everything that they do
[00:46.48] Visions of a father that would taint you
[00:49.12] Yeah, shatter like the glass I was chained to
[00:51.88] Because I made you, anyone could make you
[00:54.28] Yeah, but it's your father that could raise you
[00:56.79] Uh, only a mother that could save you
[00:59.61] We never had enough, still we make do
[01:02.35] Yeah, to break the chains and the cycle
[01:04.49] The days that are vital, the place as an idol
[01:07.37] Yeah, see the name's in the title
[01:09.61] The days, a disciple
[01:11.07] This pain, it was my fault
[01:12.61] Yeah, 'cause wide awake from the chains in the thread
[01:15.60] All the pain that could stays in your head
[01:17.79] Yeah, I understand, yo, I'm wildin'
[01:20.10] No man is an island but you know I've been trying
[01:23.61] Yeah, but is it good enough?
[01:25.65] Yeah, shiver through my hoodie as I pull it up
[01:28.29] Cycle through the city thinking stupid stuff
[01:30.73] Acting like I'm quiet but I could erupt
[01:33.76] And I did, flashing back when we was kids
[01:36.37] I see my father blow his lid
[01:38.55] Yeah, I used to say I hate the crib
[01:40.95] Hate the doors, hate the fridge
[01:42.20] Hate this fucking house I live
[01:43.29] 'Cause there's holes in every wall
[01:45.21] And now there's holes in every wall when it was me
[01:47.43] And I've been taken for a fool
[01:49.00] I hold my son, yo, I've been trying to play it cool
[01:51.14] But I'm the villain in the story
[01:52.52] The exception to the rule
[01:53.75] Did the pressure bussed a pipe, build a diamond?
[01:56.06] Uh, the anger puts a fella on an island
[01:59.44] Yeah, you hear the bang, feel the silence
[02:01.70] Uh, but you know I've been trying
[02:05.20] Yeah, to break the chains and the cycle
[02:07.14] The days that are vital, the place as an idol
[02:09.59] Yeah, see the name's in the title
[02:12.17] The days, a disciple
[02:13.46] This pain, it was my fault
[02:15.54] Yeah, 'cause wide awake from the chains in the thread
[02:18.17] All the pain that could stays in your head
[02:20.38] Yeah, I understand, yo, I'm wildin'
[02:22.61] No man is an island but you know I've been0
[02:25.65] When I was younger, yo, I wanted to be famous, yeah
[02:30.83] Now that I'm older, yo, I wish that I was nameless, yeah
[02:35.90] The world's aimless, no one gives a fuck
[02:38.63] Time's of the essence, I was running out of luck
[02:40.77] Getting stuck for a couple bucks, tryna buss a nut
[02:43.57] Filling up my plate but wasn't filling up your cup
[02:45.99] Yo, I say it's fucked
[02:47.22] They even killed the Wolverine
[02:49.04] That was the only father figure that I'd seen, I was lost
[02:52.26] Tryna find something to believe
[02:53.84] All them aches and the pain, yeah, from crying on my knees
[02:56.56] I was saying please, all this air that I breathe
[02:59.10] Weren't a waste, the glass chin staying on my feet
[03:02.03] I close my eyes and I listen to you sleep
[03:05.15] Yeah, find some peace
