Acknowledge

Screeching Weasel · Emo [1999]

i am alive i am here i am now i acknowlege the fact

of my life i am alive breathing walking and smiling

acknowledge the fact of lmy life there's a big big

world out there thime that i stepped in 'cause i'm

getting tired of pretending that i don't really give

a shit there was guilt and shame there was fear and

hate but now it's finally time to appreciate the perfection

of all life all the times and places and time i'd waste

i learned the hard way and ever since when i look forward

or back i just gotta laugh 'cause it hit like a ton

of bricks i laid down on the ground and i looked around

and i saw a miracle i appreciate the simple beauty

of the world it came to me like a bullet to the heart

but it was there in front of me all along so obvious

the only meaning of life is life itself i'm not controlled

by anybody else i must get out of my way get out of my own way
