I?ve done everything right
followed the blood line
Mom fell behind I took up the slack.
Breaking my back to work off the debt
an unthankful brother?s the thanks that i get

eyes from the sun don?t look any higher
i?ve only begun my sacrifice
eighteen years old trapped in a life under the ground

i?ve done everything right
feels like i?m forty
already the man I will be when I die
don?t bother with why won?t scream out for more
no use on earth being the boy I was before

eyes from the sun don?t look any higher
i?ve only begun my sacrifice
i brought him up he brings me here I?ll bring him home
There?s a life I?m totally pushed through
another year i stick with what i?m stuck and disappear

I disappear 

i?ve done everything right 
soon I?ll just vanish 
sinking so deep that I?m likely to drown
i keep my head down keep food on the shelf 
keep paying for dreams I can?t afford myself

eyes from the sun don?t look any higher 
I?ve only begun my sacrifice
eighteen years old trapped in a life under the ground
pick up the slack pull on my boots 
push through a year
and disappear
