[Verse 1]
I'm giving up all expectations
That I will live a meaningful life
I once was filled with inspiration
That lion heart has lost his pride
[Pre-Chorus]
I am not the person that I thought that I would be
[Chorus]
I keep tripping over the same steps
The stars aren't beautiful
Advice is never useful
And I still walk the line held tight with my regrets
I'd rather die than live like this
I've gotta give up giving in
[Verse 2]
Some people never will go crazy
What horrible lives they must lead
I'm going to try and paint new scenery
And build a window to help me see
[Pre-Chorus]
I am not the person that I thought that I would be
[Chorus]
I keep tripping over the same steps
The stars aren't beautiful
Advice is never useful
And I still walk the line held tight with my regrets
I'd rather die than live like this
I've gotta give up giving in
I have got my eyelids stapled shut
[Verse 3]
I have failed but I'm used to it
The past is just that
It's a sunken old ship
There will be moments
I pretend
That I can raise it up
Up back from the depths
[Verse 4]
Who the fuck am I kidding?
I was born with the curse of always giving in
(Giving in!)
Every day is another chance
To make peace with myself
But I would rather play dead
[Bridge]
Sure it looks easy when it's through borrowed eyes
The hero has a thousand faces, none of them matching mine
Fuck the world, fuck the stars, fuck the person you are
None of this will matter if I don't give up folding my cards
[Chorus]
I keep tripping over the same steps
The stars aren't beautiful
Advice is never useful
And I still walk the line held tight with my regrets
I'd rather die than live like this
I've gotta give up giving in
I have got my eyelids stapled shut
