They keep building me up to be
So much more than I could ever believe.
They swore to me that I would have the world

In the palm of my hand.

Every day I can feel myself falling behind.

In some sick rat race for the top.
But this mountain face hides the steep cliff,
and at the bottom there lies nothing...


But death.


Life has become a struggle to survive

They keep building me up to be

So much more than I could ever believe.
They swore to me that I would have the world
In the palm of my hand.


But I can feel this land's weight
Crushing the life out of me.

How could I ever become
This stunning vision they see?


It's crushing me.
I'm breaking down.
It's crushing me.


There is nothing left of the man
They said I could become.


They keep building me up to be
So much more than I could ever believe.

They swore to me that I would have the world
In the palm of my hand.


But I can feel this land's weight
Crushing the life out of me.
How could I ever become

This stunning vision they see?
