Beartooth - Beaten In Lips Lyrics






Everything that I say won't mean anything less
When I'm down in a grave
And you've put me to rest
Everything that I say won't mean anything less
When I'm down in a grave
And you've put me to rest

Will the story end
Will it ever change
I never knew a person could be so deranged
Does it make you feel good
Do you feel strong ruining the lives of everyone you love

As if life isn't hard already
Add it to the list of things to forget
With one chance to define ourselves
We're gonna keep on living
Keep on living

This is for the kids with the beaten in lips
Whose parents try to shut them up using their fists
Keep living loud and proud
They never can hold you down

This is for the kids with a soul like mine
When people tell you living is a waste of your time
Keep living loud and proud
They never can hold you down

Pull the plug with a single decision
Your way of life is a contradiction
Go to rehab celebrate with ketamine
Mend the wounds and light it with kerosene

Light my wounds with kerosene!
Light my wounds with kerosene!
Light my wounds with kerosene!
Light my wounds with kerosene!

As if life isn't hard already
Add it to the list of things to forget
With one chance to define ourselves
We're gonna keep on living
Keep on living

This is for the kids with the beaten in lips
Whose parents try to shut them up using their fists
Keep living loud and proud
They never can hold you down
This is for the kids with a soul like mine
When people tell you living is a waste of your time
Keep living loud and proud
They never can hold you down

Listen to the sound of your children revolting
Listen to the sound of the lives you're ruining

This is for the kids with the beaten in lips
Whose parents try to shut them up using their fists
Keep living loud and proud
They never can hold you down

This is for the kids with the beaten in lips
Whose parents try to shut them up using their fists
Keep living loud and proud
They never can hold you down

This is for the kids with a soul like mine
When people tell you living is a waste of your time
Keep living loud and proud
They never can hold you down

Everything that I say won't mean anything less
When I'm down in a grave
And you've put me to rest
Everything that I say won't mean anything less
When I'm down in a grave
And you've put me to rest

  12. G.... ....

    How come only 5 years ago, caleb looking like a fucking baby

  13. g.... f....

    Never realized the lyrics were that deep.
    Now children's day is coming to my country, and my mom talks a lot about the neighbours who treat their little sons like a straight-out punch bag, and this happens all day and night.

  14. F.... P....

    My favorite song by far, love this band!

  15. K.... O....

    Beartooth, no. Bearteeth.

  16. N.... R....

    My dad mentally abuses me and my mom and sisters and I hate him for that so I can relate to this song l love this song 🤘🤘🤘😈

  17. D.... ....

    Cool...sounds like 2003. Where's the progression?! No wonder rock is dead

  18. e.... r....

    I have dead parents but i was abused my whole life. I'm only 19. Sexual, physical, and emotional and for kids like us this helps others understand what we have been through. Thanks Beartooth.

  23. M.... ....

    Why ruin such a great song with such a horrible Refrain? this song would be a Monster without this shity Refrain.

  24. B.... R....

    Pre headband Caleb. Nice

  25. D.... A....

    Because of this song fun fact I got the courage to stand up to my abusive dad and step mom. I never texted any of them. Nothing. But this song made me have the courage to stand up to them. It was amazing.

  26. H.... ....

    Just notice that the violence is not only physical, but can remain mental. Welcome to my world.

  27. G.... ....

    catch me screaming until my head pops off next time i see them live. This is one of my absolute favorites. When I saw them last year, this was one of the first songs they played, and I can still remember how it felt when it started. I've never felt more at home, more at ease and free of anxiety and depression, than i felt that night. Oct. 10th, 2018. I'll never forget it.

  28. G.... ....

    "Fuck you for what you did to me, and fuck the others of you for doing it to them. It doesn't control us anymore."

  29. Z.... I....

    my dad was a little bit of a abuser i discovered this now im a hardcore beartooth fan

  30. K.... ....

    Not gonna work for me, it's too late and too less. Instead of hating or going against them, I already idolized their behaviours and will definitely go use it on my future someone/so called "family". Why do we, the victims, have to be the rational ones to always gather up our shit just to survive while some nerdy turds have literally no consequences from what they did and can never give any fuck to their actions? F that, I F that hard, buddy. I will pass the "family tradition" on just to make the innocent ones to suffer, this is how I'm gonna save myself. Fuck this world :)

  31. G.... T....

    they played this live on JERA ON AIR! It was painfully good

  32. G.... S....

    Guys bAd trip thinking I’m high

  33. G.... H....

    Is this a zombie movie?

  34. J.... G....

    Kids on the street kids on the beat. BEAT KIDS.

  35. k.... ....

    THIS SONG IS SO IMPORTANT

  36. A.... R....

    Caleb is crazy talented

  37. A.... ....

    I'm 20 and still got problems with my mom, her way is violence and "hard" words so sometimes i come here and listen to this song since i was 15-16 because i've never found something to make me feel better and important like Beaten In Lips, so i wanted to thank these guys for making such an amazing music and because i found someone who understands me. I'ts hard to fight everytime and not pay attention to what's in your family so songs like that are precious and i saw people here who feel the same way. Life is hard for sure, but things get better :)

  38. D.... S....

    Still one of my favs

  39. j.... r....

    Love the breakdowns!!

  40. B.... B....

    The main riff is an absolute monster!

    B.... B....

    I'm back again. Wakin' up to this shit! Lets go!!!

  41. M.... B....

    Caleb Chomo?

  42. N.... ....

    Nice song but too much cringy angst

  43. M.... ....

    I love this song so much I relate to it because when I was a kid I was abused by my dad, and then my step dad. Thanks Beartooth.

  44. S.... M....

    LIGHT MY WORLD WITH KEROSENE

  45. T.... G....

    ja faz 5 anos e ainda é daora, vai se fuder

  46. G.... A....

    This is so touchin' then romantic music

  47. E.... K....

    Haha i remember in 6th grade this used to be the shit for me💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥

  48. L.... K....

    I had this weird hysterical moment last night when my mum slapped me and my lip burst out bleeding and almost got me burst out laughing. Then I secretly packed my stuff at 3 in the morning and almost got myself to leave the house..but chickened out at the last minute and here I am.
    I grew up in a culture where it is widely accepted that "disciplining" your child through use of beating is normal(it is changing now, but slowly) and for a long time until high school I believed that I deserved to be punished for the things I did wrong- little things like lying to your parents or talking back at them or not following their orders etc, etc. Although I have thought differently about all this for a very long time, 'thinking' and 'putting it into action' are two very different things. No matter what I yell at myself in my head, when my parents order me to kneel in front of them and listen to their lecture(as children are expected to do with their elders), for the life of me my body won't move. I can't talk back at them, as I've been conditioned to do when I was younger. I've gathered enough balls now to say things back at them every now and then, but in a way that won't aggravate them(but still aggravates them anyway). I'm just over my mid-twenties now, so they don't hit me systematically like they used to, but I still get the occasional slap or kick or blow to the head, and have to take it without resistance or it's seen as an act of defiance and that I am not repenting for my "wrongdoings". And still my body just... wouldn't move despite the various actions I picture myself doing in my head.


    Lately I feel as though I'm losing myself because I have absolutely no idea what to do with this situation. It's not very easy to tell this story to a complete stranger and make them understand. The story itself is years and years old- spanning my whole lifetime. Most of those memories are faded and all that remains are the emotions that have built up steadily over the past 20+ years. And my parents actions themselves aren't exactly black-white good-evil. To the outside world, they are wonderful parents. I also know for a fact that they lead a very healthy lifestyle and uphold good morals. They have a very clear idea of what a "proper" lifestyle should be and how a "proper" human being should behave, and I respect that. But I believe that there are many different ways to live a life and because I am rather very stubborn, and they are stubborn, the problem starts there. The many "little faults" I have - basically whatever that doesn't fall into their category of "right" and "good" - all come together in their eyes as a "very disobedient and stubborn daughter whom it is their duty to turn into a proper human being before being released into the society". It's not like I do drugs or anything. I'm just an average 26 year-old who likes to sleep in in the mornings and may be a little overweight (by Korean standards) and enjoy rocking out to different genres of music.
    In moments of clarity I think this way, but nowadays I feel so confused. Sometimes I wonder if I really am a worthless bag of bones like they tell me in their moments of anger. When they're not angry, they can be such great, caring parents. Always worrying after me and for my safety, preparing hearfelt meals and buying lovely clothes and regularly going on family trips etc etc. They don't have drinking problems. This is not a clear case like "my parents drink and beat me for no reason". They beat me or punish me in other ways to "discipline" me and they feel justice. In fact they cannot understand why their daughter just won't do what they tell her to do when they all they want is to guide her to become a good, proper person?
    Maybe they're right. These days I just feel so sick and tired of everything. Up until a few years ago I played the perfect daughter(as best I could), slapping on a mask of repense whenever getting "disciplined". I find that I don't have the emotional control to do even that anymore. And it's showing. And leads to more"discipline".
    Just yesterday my mum repeatedly asked me- "Why do you always make me be a bad person?". As in- "Why do you always be so stubborn and never do what I tell you to do, so that I have to punish you and look like the bad guy?".
    I don't have the guts to properly fight back, but I don't want to (and can't) live by their rules anymore. I've always made an effort to be positive all my life, in fact my friends remember me as that super happy ball of energy. I feel tired of that now. Sometimes I just feel done with everything, but I don't have the guts to end it all. I don't have the guts to leave either. And thinking about all this is exhausting and overwhelming. I find it harder and harder to talk about it to the few friends who know about my situation, because I feel like I'm burdening them with it. And anyway I'd much rather I talked about other things with them.
    Recently I tried posting a few things on instagram just to vent it out a little, and suddenly it felt all too attention-seeking and I felt stupid about it and deleted them later. Never tried it on youtube before but seems like it just happened now... Maybe I'll feel stupid about it and delete it soon. I gotta admit writing this all down here helped summarize my situation to myself a bit. Writing it down on paper risks getting discovered(it's happened before), and I never get far before zoning out anyway.


    Anyway if you're still reading, thank you for caring, and if you relate to this... hold on to hope that things will get better. I'm trying so hard to hold on. But I feel so wasted inside. I feel so stupid. I feel like I'm drowning half the time. I'm not sure who I am anymore. Maybe, despite what my parents DO to me, what they SAY to me may be true? I don't know. I'm so sick of everything. I'm so sick of having to come up with excuses to cover up my situation. I'm sick of pretending I'm fine. I'm not happy. I'm not fine at all. But it takes too much strength just to think about it, let alone talk about it. Hell, why am I still ranting about this here? It's fucking YOUTUBE for God's sake.


    And just as an after thought- for those people in the comment section who keeps saying "instead of commenting here go and get some actual help", please understand it's not easy. Especially if you've been conditioned to take the abuse all your life. It's really really hard.
