I know these vices are my own and I'll drown in them someday but for now I'm treading waters in my youth And my pockets may be empty but at least I know that I'm worth my weight in the people I love I carry with me the weight of all my friend's mistakes They're all I have and it's all that I could ever take from them And amongst the pressure this steady back won't break And as long as you have mine I have yours The roads we've been down the days we've spent Will never be replaced with sorrow or repent Because I've told you once that strife builds men No matter the cost I'd go through it all again Trust in your tribe within these trying times Those who are worth it will give reality its shine It's a safe bet The ones you love take precedence over things you will forget Our fortune is the foundation we built with friends Believe me it's not easy but we pave the streets we walk with hearts of gold Sticking close to the ones who helped our stories unfold And we won't always have full wallets or an empty conscience But what is very real is our ship sailing into the cold Life's about the give and take not the number of egos that you can break Higher the horse means harder the fall These people who pick me up time and again expect me to stand tall Trust in your tribe within these trying times Those who are worth it will give reality its shine It's a safe bet The ones you love take precedence over things you will forget Our fortune is the foundation we built with friends They say that the good times are k**ing me and recently I haven't found the strength to disagree But for now I'll walk with my head held high If this is the price for living then I'm ready to die I've got knives in my eyes because I'm tired of sleep I made a promise to myself I'd die on my feet There are dreams that I have they don't permit defeat I put my trust in this world through the people I meet Don't tell us that we're unreasonable We could find common ground with the devil We would never be so low sinking down to society's level Trust in your tribe within these trying times Those who are worth it will give reality its shine It's a safe bet The ones you love take precedence over things you will forget Our fortune is the foundation we built with friends We know these vices are our own and we'll drown in them someday But for now we're treading waters in our youth And as the current pulls us under and we're gasping for air At least we'll be together as the water fills our lungs
