Empty and bitter
I dare not move a step
I know I have no choice, but to live
Though I'd rather give up and take my rest
Because life is so complicated
With all its ups and downs
I'm tired of seeing smiles
While only being able to frown,
Because nothing ever seems to go my way
Resistance meets me pound for pound
So how with concrete shoes am I not to drown?
Or is this supposed to be some test?
A right of passage if you like,
Where the answers will be given that I've sought all my life
Or am I to find the same emptiness that I've always found
Within this world of man, void of hallowed ground.
'Cause I say I cannot take it
If what I guess is true
You see I've always aimed to win,
But all I ever do is lose.
So how can I believe your divine words today?
When they'll only bring me heartbreak tomorrow
Is it not better to live in the world I know?
The one of bitterness and sorrow
Rather then be torn apart by the love of lovers
Come the 'morrow.

'So how with concrete shoes am I not to drown'

That is one of those lines that just connects like few can.

Our scars are the foundation for what we have become
