Lyrics

I care so much it's suffocating
Over elaborating
Trying to explain myself
But I'm failing
Drowning so loud it cancels out all the sound
I am bound
By the expectations that are unrealistic
I'm a fish climbing a tree, but no one is impressed
Nothing I do is sufficient enough to impress
What about success?
How do I obtain it?
Why is it constantly so illusive?
Was I just born out of its reach
A hand touching the leaves
But never the branches
But never the trunk
Never truly holding what I've tried to earn
Having to face the reality
That something really needs to change
An exchange
For my sanity i received success, but with no avail I am restless
At best
I'm smiling at you as you pass
Never letting you know of the stress
Quietly having to put up a shield
Just to get through the day
Even though failure is around the corner
Laughing at my efforts
Spitting on my pride
Trying to tell me I'd be better off committing suicide
Oh who am I?
The person I want to be is so far away
She's smiling
Encouragingly
Telling me I'll one day see her looking back at me
She beckons me
Failure holds me by my ankles
Something has to go
I let it go
Of all the anger
Of all the stress
Failure falls
And my future holds me
Today I am free
But tomorrow I fight again
Just to see my future again
Again
Again
I won't give up
Not until I see my future looking back at me.
