Here's What It Takes

Here's what it takes to survive;

Saturday's fever means you're staying alive

Of course

An 8-ball of coke

You're angry and broke

My Mother misspoke by telling me the truthHere's what it takes to believe

Drink down the Drano 'til the demons all leave

I won't go

I told you I don't want to knowHere's what it takes to regret

Wake up sleepwalking in your father's footsteps

The fridge door was open again

There's leftover blame

You're eating your shame and choking on the truth

Here's what it takes to be heard

And we rejoin us to discouraging words

I won't go

I told you I don't want to knowOh whoa whoa

Oh whoa whoa

Oh whoa whoa

What we once kept hidden from our parents

Now we keep it hidden from our kids

No second chances ever in this life

Just another chance to make the same mistake twiceHere's what it takes to deny

Let's make a movie 'bout a hardworking guy

Who wastes time with family and friends

And likes to pretend

That when it all ends he is closer to the truth

And if the least you can do

You fail your parents like you think they failed you

And let go

I told you I don't want to know

NooooooooooooHere's what it takes

Here's what it takes

Here's what

Here's what it takes

Here's what it takes

Here's what

Here's what it takes

Here's what it takes

Here's what

Here's what it takes

(Here's what it takes to forget)

Here's what it takes

Here's what

Here's what it takes

(Here's what it takes from you yet)

Here's what it takes

Here's what

Here's what it takes

(Here's what it takes to believe)

Here's what it takes

Here's what

Here's what it takes

(Here's what it takes from you and me)

Here's what it takes

Here's what

Here's what it takes

Here's what it takes

Here's what

Here's what it takes

Here's what it takes

Here's what

Here's what it takes

Here's what it takes
