Nonpoint — Bullet With A Name

[Intro]
Twelve hours down the concrete road,
Grinding rails that cracked my bones,
The one day I don't wear my helmet I smacked my dome,
About to snap this board and just walk home

[Verse 1]
My deck’s all splinters, my grip tape’s gray,
The bearings scream in a rusty way.
Sunburnt wrists and busted knees,
I took a tumble into some leaves
I open a box and I can't believe

Oh wow what’s that in my inventory?
Looks like some bullshit, it's not funny!
Forget a board with glowing trucks,
I got rainbow socks, man what the fuck!?

[Pre-Chorus]
Twelve hours straight!
My hands, they shake!
Rewards are lame!
For fuck's sake!
Is this real life? Is this a joke?
These product boxes are fuckin' broke!

[Chorus]
But hey at least my rainbow socks are cool,
Matching all the ways I play the fool.
I crash, I burn, I eat the street,
For neon threads around my feet.
Hop off my deck and take a seat

I push wood with rainbow feet!
I push wood with rainbow feet!

[Verse 2]
Lame board, crusty wheels,
I’m the clown of San Van streets!
Watch me kickflip, watch me heal(flip)
My rusty bearings screech and squeal

The street glows beneath my board,
I chase the sound just one more score.
But every trick, each fall, each bruise,
Just fuels the rage I can’t refuse!

[Breakdown]
I SKATED TILL THE SUNSET FELL!
I SHREDDED THROUGH LITERAL HELL!
THEY FED ME SCRAPS, THEY FED ME LIES!
“GOOD JOB, BRO, ENJOY YOUR PRIDE!”

[Bridge]
Now I’m drifting down this asphalt street,
Threads of color where my hope should be.
No gold deck, no fame, no crown.
Just rainbow socks,
I’m breaking down.

“Look mom, I made it look at my socks...”

[Final Chorus]
At least my rainbow socks are cool,
Guess that’s what twelve hours do!
Call me broke, call me a fool,
I look like a retard, this game's so cruel

[Outro]
TWELVE HOURS STRAIGHT!
NO BOARD! NO FATE!
JUST RAINBOW SOCKS!
SKATE TURNED ME GAY!
