Success stories

These steps lead up to something greater
I'm on the verge of excess and
I could stop on a point of complacency
This elevation could be the end of me!
Another routine case of vertigo
Confusion and there is nowhere to go
My mental state is quite unstable
This remedy could be my failure

I reminisced on former pictures of my youth
I asked
Am I a criminal? Am I an infidel?
Looks like your point of view is skewed

It's like another take after take
Of someone's fist hitting your face
and you're just an unpaid extra
It's like you crafted something new
but the patent was approved
to some dipshit in a lab that just invented it

Well hold your tongue
And wait for me
To break the news today

Hold your tongue
Well hold your tongue
And wait for me

I'm sick of reading all these
success stories
of the rich and boring
that are unlike me
Whatever happened to the underdog?
Whatever happened to the right cause?
We
and transform into a force that's beyond their reach

Complete control is their only goal
They transmit it through the radio
and all these thoughts will block these thoughts
of superceding them
I'm sick of shades of gray
I'm sick of making way
For the next oncoming asshole to cut me off
while I'm driving to work!

Well hold your tongue
And wait for me
To break the news today

Hold your tongue
Well hold your tongue
And wait, and wait, and wait

I'm sick of reading all these
success stories
of the rich and boring
that are unlike me
Whatever happened to the underdog?
Whatever happened to the right cause?
Well I've shrugged off this skin and I'm ready to live
and transform into a force that's beyond their reach
Their reach.
