we have tried and failed
|
we have stumbled and fallen
|
we have tried a new taste and spit it back out
|
we have taken a left turn when we meant to turn right
|
we lost sight of our origins
|
but our past never lost sight of us
|
it's not emulation - cause that's not this hard
|
not imitation - cause that won't take you far
|
not digression - cause I'm falling straight up
|
it is progression - I'm not afraid to stand up
|
I don't know what is expected
|
but I expected it to be great
|
I said "I'm trying my hardest"
|
but he didn't like the tape
|
take a look at what you're doing
|
and tell me I'm too late
|
you say we're walking backwards
|
well, that dead horse sure can run
|
the truth
|
I know I can
|
I know I will
|
I know -I know what I have to do
|
and now you'll listen
|
and I hope it won't hurt
|
I've seen your poison
|
you've done your worst
|
I've seen your better
|
and I can't believe it's true
|
you've lost the truth that used to live inside of you
|
