I know I’m not making much progress
I’ve got sutures that can’t seem to heal
I called up to see my potential
But it wants to see other people
I’m trapped between panic and apathy
Between the person I am and the person I’m “meant” to be
My thread rends to split ends
They trail with inks and medicine
I’ve scraped up, and I’ve spent
Too much to braid and bind them
‘Cause they’ll define
Me by how well I’ve traced their lines
But why do I
Have to drown myself to “save” my lifе?
Adding pressure to see if I’ll bend or I’ll brеak
They dock points when I’m trying
To give back as much as I take
Accept it, I’m not meant
For glory, fame or fortune
Am I doomed, or destined
For this routine rejection?
‘Cause they’ll define
Me by how well I’ve traced their lines
I’ll stray outside
And draft blueprints for a new design
Just because I’ve derailed
It doesn’t mean that I’ve failed
Just because I’ve derailed
It doesn’t mean that I’ve failed
Just because I’ve derailed
It doesn’t mean that I’ve failed
Just because I’ve derailed
It doesn’t mean that I’ve failed
I can still rewrite this story
I can still rewrite this
I can still rewrite this story
I can still rewrite this
We’re burdened by wars between risk and reward
And we’ve been dealt lousy hands
But we’re doing the best we can
Don’t be so afraid to
Take in the views on scenic routes
They don’t know your value
So “don’t buy what they sell you”
Yeah, they’ll define
Us by how well we’ve traced their lines
But keep in mind
We’ll leave a better place behind
You can still rewrite your story
You can still rewrite this
You can still rewrite your story
You can still rewrite this
