This isn't living
Ripping our bleeding lips apart
And teaching ourselves that we're nothing
We're beating ourselves up for dropping our smiles
Letting others cut us in line
Because we aren't worth a spot anyway.
This isn't how it's supposed to go
We see the successful people
But there will always be someone better
We're kicking off our shoes and dropping dead on the couch
Cause what's the point anyway
We have it in our head that we'll always be last.
This isn't living
We're discouraged about our progress
It's really nothing at all
In reality we've got nothing but time on our hands
Time to fill with hobbies and talents
Knowing someone will always climb higher anyway.
This isn't the part we're supposed to play
Covering up our triumphs with shrugs and "I don't know's"
When in reality your better than you think
We have the world at our fingertips and our talents to improve
We'll rise up high
And our minds will see how alight we are with determination and fire.
Now this is living
Pushing through even when your not at the top
But your on your way
Our fingers will bleed and scab over thousands of times
The mountain we're climbing will be worth it in the end
It'll all be worth it in the end.
