I'm giving up all expectations That I will live a meaningful life I once was filled with inspiration That lion heart has lost his pride
I am not the person that I thought that I would be
I keep tripping over the same steps The stars aren’t beautiful Advice is never useful And I still walk the line held tight with my regrets I'd rather die than live like this I’ve gotta give up giving in
“Some people never will go crazy, What horrible lives they must lead.” I'm going to try and paint new scenery And build a window to help me see
I am not the person that I thought that I would be
I keep tripping over the same steps The stars aren’t beautiful Advice is never useful And I still walk the line held tight with my regrets I'd rather die than live like this I’ve gotta give up giving in I have got my eyelids stapled shut
I have failed but I'm used to it The past is just that It's a sunken old ship There will be moments I pretend That I can raise it up Up back from the depths
Who the fuck am I kidding? I was born with the curse of always giving in Every day is another chance To make peace with myself But I would rather play dead
Sure it looks easy when it's through borrowed eyes “The hero has a thousand faces”, none of them matching mine Fuck the world, fuck the stars, fuck the person you are None of this will matter if I don't give up folding my cards
I keep tripping over the same steps The stars aren’t beautiful Advice is never useful And I still walk the line held tight with my regrets I'd rather die than live like this I’ve gotta give up giving in I have got my eyelids stapled shut
