Please let me see the false that my ego denies me
Don`t let me grow so tall that I forget the ground beneath me
Don`t let me forget that satisfaction has no friends
That glory`s only fading, already gone
I`ve wasted so much time
I`ve wasted so much time
I`m trying to get it straight
I`m trying to get it straight
I`m trying to keep it straight in my mind
Don`t let me think it`s love, when it`s only just obsession
I`ve spent so many nights punching that wall
Show me the difference between decision and denial
I want to know why I ask why
I`m trying to get it straight
I`m trying to get it straight
I`m trying to get it straight in my mind
I`m trying to keep myself in check
I`m trying to keep myself in check
So tired of regret
Let me see my confusion for exactly what it is
Don`t let me make my rage a tool of regret
Allow me to sidestep my frustration and hostility
And the violence that comes to me so easily
Too easily
I`ve wasted so much time
I`ve wasted so much time
I`m trying to get it straight
I`m trying to get it straight
I`m trying to get it straight in my mind
I`m trying to keep myself together
Struggling, struggling, struggling
Winning and losing, yeah!
