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
