Why don't you ask me, about the things I did today? Did I live up to my expectations that I didn't even make? The pressure to succeed is growing, it takes my breath, I'm f**ing choking on all the promises I made; I'm sorry if you felt dismayed And if I can't find another key, I'll force myself right to the top you'll see I find it hard to get up every day, and push through all the obstacles that the world throws in my face Am I going colour blind, or what if the world's turning grey? My perception on reality is something I could never change A shadow of a man, unknowing Catching up to me, not slowing
Down an empty stream, not flowing Watching all the youth, foregoing Everything that mattered to me, another chapter of this story What if everything you said was just another word that I misread And if I can't find another key, I'll force myself right to the top you'll see I find it hard to get up every day, and push through all the obstacles that the world throws in my face Am I going colour blind, or what if the world's turning grey? My perception on reality is something I could never change And if I look right through you I'll see what you saw in me
