grandeur

Lyrics

, nobody's gonna run your race for you. when you step up into that batter's box you're all alone! and you either strike out or hit. we live in a time when people think somebody else can live our lives for us, think for us. you alone run that race, you alone are in that ball game. that's the language of american individualism. if you want to be a champion you've got to analyze yourself. you've got to recognize your weakness. and you've got to change that weakness into power. started with a dream in a small town, traded it all away, only call now, pickin' myself up just to fall down, pieces of myself scattered all around, and all the king's horses and all of his men, can't put my soul back together again, darkness surrounds me but this ain't the end, the desolate silence has become my friend, illusions of grandeur, these illusions of grandeur, thinkin' life's so much better than this, but it ain't much better, and i don't wanna fall down, and i don't wanna break myself, i'm weak, is this the life i wanted, or is this life just killing me, with illusions of grandeur, these illusions of grandeur, thinkin' life's so much better than this, but it ain't much better, and i just need to love my life again, i don't wanna worry 'bout the end, i'm tired of the pointless grinding mind, and all these crazy voices in my head, tellin' me i'm up and i can't carry on, lose it for a second but a second's way too long, i hope i made a difference now, illusions of grandeur, these illusions of grandeur, thinkin' life's so much better than this, but it ain't much better, and i don't wanna fall down, and i don't wanna break myself, i'm weak, is this the life i wanted, or is this life just killing me, with illusions of grandeur, these illusions of grandeur, thinkin' life's so much better than this, but it ain't much better
