I can't seem to escape from what crawls above me
And puts me to work while it takes from my mind
I can't put my hand to my face and not pull it away
Without seeing nothing but guilt on my palms
Leaving a map to my sins on my face
Giving my whole past away
What a hoax, I'm no fool
But in the front of my mind I could see myself slipping
Weren't you aware you were my last brace standing
What a hoax, it played out true
I string myself along so terribly and you tire me out
Day after day I'm barely even there
I'm hardly worth a thing
It's not about who you are
It's who you know that gets you further
My life is right now, my world is turning
I'm fighting the pull, but I keep loosing, I keep loosing
We search and we search, but what are we finding
We search and we search, but what are we finding
I've seen the Devil but I know what God looks like
Those eyes are tearing up in me
We're coming out, we're coming out when we're good and ready
We're coming out, we'll turn the tables of this city
What a hoax, I'm no fool
But in the front of my mind I could see myself slipping
Weren't you aware you were my last brace standing
What a hoax, it played out true
I string myself along so terribly and you tire me out
Day after day I'm barely even there
I'm hardly worth a thing
I pray to God that there's something in my heart
That gets me there
If you leave me now I'll control the fall
Forcing my shoulders back
I'm down here watching
I will not be chained, be made a working slave
This is my chapter of victory
I pray to God that there's something in my heart
That gets me there
(It's not about who you are it's who you know that gets you further)
It gets you further
