Another brick on top of the pile It's getting too heavy already To carry on your young shoulders You know everything's not in its place But you have no idea what it is That is preventing you from Rising to your own height
A vicious passed on burden Too invisible to see, Yet heavy enough to make you crawl To take all beauty from life, To steal all ambition
How could you know? No one ever showed you any other way No one ever encouraged you to shine To be what you are and be it proudly To not let anyone put you in any other mold But the one you carry deep inside
Another brick on the top of the pile It's getting too heavy already To carry on your young shoulders You know everything's not in it's place But you have no idea what it is That is preventing you from Rising to your own height
A vicious passed on burden Too invisible to see, Yet heavy enough to make you crawl To take all beauty from life, To steal all ambition
Every night on your knees Making a silent prayer to a god that you don't even know Wake up to another day to see That everything is still the same
No more faked ambition Time to put it all in its place Anything else but hiding in shadows Let them be you
