[Chorus]

[Verse 1]


Every day I play a poker face, I don't wanna deal with %#@!
I feel like I'm drowning in an ocean of ignorance

know the significance, I know what I'm dealing with
snakes in the streets scheming, day dreaming of demons
voices I keep hearing, in my head screaming

I'm your deepest darkest secrets, I'm everything you believe in
the recognition you're fiendin', the memory of your father
my heart lives in the darkness, battling these monsters

is it pain and stress or just plain depression
why's it never ending
always second guessing asking several questions

can I just forget it, success is a sick obsession
but I gotta get my respect, $#&@ my enemies
nothing but regret for everyone that rejected me

honestly, I started there's no stopping me, I'm focused
regardless how troublesome the road gets
I got somewhere I gotta go, cause this life is all I know


[Chorus]


[Verse 2]

It's beautiful art when you put all of your heart in

making one song that consumes all yours thoughts and
there's one problem, you gotta proceed with caution
you're working so hard you're suffering from exhaustion

Far from average, a selfish, helpless romantic
a systematic madness like unhappy marriage
as mad as the maddest man abandoned by his parents

imagine having your family dying at random
mental status; $#&@ed up and totally out of balance
so emotionally damaged you could probably die of sadness

music is like poison, trapped in my skin, hopeless
no matter how cold my soul gets, it's torture to stay focused
sometimes I feel worthless, you know me through music

but I stare into the mirror and see a different person
I'm so committed to it, I got somewhere I gotta go
gotta grow, cause this life is all I know


[Chorus]


[Verse 3]

So many sleepless nights, but the bed's right there

tired of the nightmares, demons don't fight fair
I'll keep pushing my limits, maneuvering through the business
big things have small beginnings, say I'm overambitious

$#&@ my passionate lyrics my pacifist image
if you don't believe in my message, I don't need none of you (*##$es
gotten used to the crickets, adios and good riddance

I've been %#@!ting on critics since high school finished
a total emotional wreck, way over the edge
$#&@ walking in my shoes, spend a day in my head

I'm taking my respect, and anything I can get
I'll exceed expectations, I've already made it
but it's hard to be the greatest everyone's over rated

should've had a million views when I dropped My Dedication
I'm losing my patience, I'm tired of waiting
waiting for real music to be treated with appreciation


[Outro]


I got somewhere I gotta go, I gotta grow
I got somewhere I gotta go, I gotta grow
I got somewhere I gotta go, I gotta grow

'cause this life is all I know, this life is all I know
