Polyfilla

Trying not to be the man I didn't want to be

To be the person that you want to see

The night falls, I'm the one you meet

Stopping at the shops and buying something sweet

Yo I was willing and we was able

Put a living on the table

The little image that I cradle

To empathise with the villains in the fable

That we relate to

Because it shapes you

I started doing everything that they do

Visions of a father that would taint you

Yeah, shatter like the glass that I was chained to

Because I made you

Anyone could make you

But it's your father that could raise you

Only a mother that could save you

We never had enough

Still we make do

Yeah, to break the chains and the cycle

The days that are vital

The place as an idol

Yeah, see the name's in the title

The days, a disciple

This pain, it was my fault

Yeah, 'cause wide awake

From the chains in the thread

All the pain that could

Stays in your head

Yeah, I understand

Yo, I'm whiling

No man is an island

But you know I've been trying

Yeah, but is it good enough?

Yeah, shiver through my hoodie as I pull it up

Cycle through the city

Thinking stupid stuff

Acting like I'm quiet

But I could erupt

And I did

Flashing back when we was kids

I see my father blow his lid

Yeah, I used to say I hate the crib

Hate the doors

Hate the fridge

Hate this fucking house I live

'Cause there's holes in every wall

And now there's holes in every wall

When it was me

And I've been taken for a fool

I hold my son

Yo, I've been trying to play it cool

But I'm the villain in the story

The exception to the rule

Did the pressure bussed a pipe, build a diamond?

The anger puts a fella on an island

Yeah, you hear the bang

Feel the silence

But you know I've been trying

Yeah, to break the chains and the cycle

The days that are vital

The place as an idol

Yeah, see the name's in the title

The days, a disciple

This pain, it was my fault

Yeah, 'cause wide awake

From the chains in the thread

All the pain that could

Stays in your head

Yeah, I understand

Yo, I'm whiling

No man is an island

But you know I've been

When I was younger yo

I wanted to be famous

Now that I'm older yo

I wish that I was nameless

The world's aimless

No one gives a fuck

Time's of the essence

I was running out of luck

Getting stuck for a couple bucks

Tryna buss a nut

Filling up my plate

But wasn't filling up your cup

Yo, I say it's fucked

They even killed the Wolverine

That was the only father figure that I'd seen

I was lost

Trying to find something to believe

All them aches and the pain

Yeah, from crying on my knees

I was saying please

All this air that I breathe

Weren't a waste

The glass chin

Staying on my feet

I close my eyes

And I listen to you sleep

Yeah

Find some peace
