When I fall, I'm minuscule But I cry out desperately: "I'm slowly building myself up to who I need to be" I get closer day by day But I'll always have my flaws
I'm doomed to swim in this sea of solemn faces To search for you Look at you
You have to live up to your name When I look up to you, I hide my face Through all you purge Your words are lost to me
I'm still a child Pleading for worth I tried to follow in your footsteps (We tread old ground so easily) The charred, sun-blackened earth has burnt away your path And now I'm lost With nowhere to turn
How do you come back from death? Believe me, I've tried so hard My fetid corpse is taking up far too much room I'm stagnant with nothing to prove
Forgive me for who I've been
There's nothing new under the sun I try so feebly To mask myself behind thick veils Of vain idolatry In this moment I realize: I'm my own downfall The father figure's at an end We're on our own
You fail me Every time, you let me down
I'm absorbed in all I say All I need is to grow up and act my age I'm absolved of all this hate All I need is to grow up and act my age
