I've waited my whole life to see
Maybe it will come to me
I've been living in a dream
Waking up is new to me
I don't know what I want to say
Standing on the precipice
Trying not to sway
The ashes of my hope catch a breeze
A cloud of dust in the air
The wreckage at my feet
And I don't know how to make you proud
I see you shaking your head
So I think aloud and make a vow to disappoint you less
So grab a chair and be prepared
I'm stepping back on the road
You know the tale
I'm gonna fail
The seeds are already sown
All my life they lied to me
Nothing ever comes to me
You cannot achieve your dreams
All you find is apathy
Steady is the hand that you stay
Keep the blow to yourself
Never pass the pain
Squander all the weight that you hold
Only break yourself
Only break your soul
I can't believe I've been deceived
All the fruit were dead
I fell the tree and burned the leaves
And then I built a bed
I went to sleep to find relief
From everything I failed
But underneath, below the sheets
I could feel the nails
All my life I couldn't see
Everything was up to me
All I ever did was dream
I guess you needed more from me
