Polyfilla

Lyrics for Polyfilla

Uh, trying not to be the man I didn't want to be To be the person that you want to see Uh, the night falls, I'm the one you meet Stopping at the shops and buying something sweet Uh, yo, I was willing, we was able, uh Put a living on the table Uh, 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 I was chained to Because I made you, anyone could make you Yeah, but it's your father that could raise you Uh, 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 wildin' 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? Uh, the anger puts a fella on an island Yeah, you hear the bang, feel the silence Uh, 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 wildin' No man is an island but you know I've been0 When I was younger, yo, I wanted to be famous, yeah Now that I'm older, yo, I wish that I was nameless, yeah 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 Tryna 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
