criticism and self realization
One by one, they stand single file
To see the king of the hill atop his worthless pile
The king has no clothes
Throw stones
Watch him implode
All for one or are we all alone
Brick by brick, its a house built on lies
Because illusion is easy to young adoring eyes
Its not hard to see
Through deceit
Make them believe
Fight the stampede, be the one to lead
All my missteps, I retrace
Every failure, Ill erase
My pride is gone
I find the strength to carry on
Looking back, whats left of me
Am I the person that I wanna be
Do I belong
I find the strength to carry on
Rung by rung, hes climbed up to the top
But once the engine is running , its hard to make it stop
Ignore what youre told
Eyes closed
Dig from below
Dont care where youre from, just where you go
Step by step, were ignoring the signs
That cocky bastard is planting the seeds of his demise
Theres nothing to gain
Only shame
We fan the flames
Fight through the pain, live another day
Just one more day
All my missteps, I retrace
Every failure, Ill erase
My pride is gone
I find the strength to carry on
Looking back, whats left of me
Am I the person that I wanna be
Do I belong
Do I belong
Writings on the wall
That Cheshire smile says you dont have the courage to take the fall
Youre not fooling anyone
Youre no one
All my missteps, I retrace
Every failure, Ill erase
My pride is gone
I find the strength to carry on
Looking back, whats left of me
Am I the person that I wanna be
Do I belong
Do I belong
