Swallowed my pride But I could not keep it down Too loud to hide But I could not keep it down All the tension, unmentioned My feet can't find the ground Today I'm fighting back No longer asleep or underground One more nail in the coffin My future went numb Too much pressure to measure I'm starting to succumb I can see my effort's not worthy So when I'm fast asleep will you be proud of me? Climbed the summit Just to plummet and fall So much to do, I do nothing at all I dug my own grave I made my own hell I'm well aware I did this to myself I can't, I won't accept the help One more nail in the coffin My future went numb Too much pressure to measure I'm starting to succumb I can see my effort's not worthy So when I'm fast asleep will you be proud of me? I hold onto so much I can barely stand It's time to let go of these coals in my hands We were picking fights with gravity Arguing with hurricanes Taking swings at the same mistakes Chasing shadows, losing battles Bit off more than we could handle It was all pointless in the end
