Reinventing the wheel to run myself over

I could walk this fine line between elation and success
We all know which way I'm going to strike the stake
between my chest.
So "You have to prove yourself". You'll have to
prove it to me

So now you're waiting up for him... you're wasting time every
time
Oh! Can't do it by myself. (5x)

I can't wake up to these reminders of who I am:
A failure of everything... 18 going on extinct.
I know my place it's nowhere you should roam.
So now you're waiting up for him... you're still wasting time every
time
Oh! Can't do it by myself
