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
