Come Out Swinging

Offspring

You brace and hold it all inside


It's more than you can stand


No one around even tries


Tries to understand





Don't turn away, don't turn away


Come out swinging


Come out alone


They're in your way


But as long as you're swinging


Strong then you'll get by





Your pacing's wearing out a line


Right beside your bed


The scene replays a million times


Stuck inside your head


And though you stand in place


Your mind escapes


Read between the lies


Smile's on your face


You fake like you're ok





Don't turn away, don't turn away


Come out swinging


Out on your own


They're in your way


You may be stinging


But you'll get by


Don't turn away, don't turn away


Come out swinging


Never alone again


The pain inside can guide your way





Midnight, no sleep


Inside, you scream to


No one, hears you fall


Daylight, prove me today


One more try





Don't turn away, don't turn


Come out swinging


Come out alone


They're in your way


You may be stinging


But you'll get by


Don't turn away, don't turn away


Come out swinging


Never alone again


Pain inside


Leads you through so you'll get by
