Henry Rollins Grip Lyrics

Grip Lyrics

See me - Put yourself in my place
Be me - Put my eyes in your face
Maybe then you`ll see why this place terrifies me
And why I`ve got to get myself away
So hard to deal with the ones who can`t feel
They continually blow my mind

No need - I`ve been burned enough times myself
You`re like me - Sometimes you scare yourself
The things that you think
And the way that you feel
Makes you think you`re all alone
When you go outside
And try to find a familiar mind
It really lets you know that you`re on your own
So unknown

When those walls close in around you
When all about you doubt you
When the world can live without you
Get a grip and keep it
You see how hard they`ll shove you
Hate your guts and tell you they love you
Get a grip right now
You see how far you get pushed
How long they`ll hold you down
Feed you lies
Drive you insane
Give you poison to kill your pain

Know me - I see the fear in your eyes
Pull back - There are some things to realize
So hard to deal with the ones who aren`t real
It`s unbelievable what they`ll put you through
Twist you up inside
Filthify and punish your mind
You don`t have to live like that
You`ve got to get your self respect
Jump back, get your self respect
You`ve got to jump back
Keep your self respect intact
You`ve got to keep it like that
Your self respect
