The Mistake

[Verse 1]

How can I grow to be a better person if I change nothing in my life?

Spewing forth good advice but never taking it myself

Deaf to my own words

Seconds spent stood still, looks like an eternity

I drag me down

[Verse 2]

I awake, eyes glued shut

Mental fog begins to roll in

I must emerge from this haze

Smothering my internal voice

Clock resets, starts again

How much time's been wasted?

I wonder if I could regain control

With my own advice I was infatuated

I need to find this intruder who's directive is to ruin

[Chorus]

The mistake was right in front of me

The mistake was plain for everyone to see

The mistake was not you underestimating me

It was doubting myself

[Verse 3]

How can I rise to cut the serpents head off if I cannot control myself?

Self discipline, tame the lion burning deep within

Harnessing my energy, not wasting it on negativity

I had a feeling, that it was in me

Not wanting to realize the importance of self-confrontation

[Chorus]

The mistake was right in front of me

The mistake was plain for everyone to see

The mistake was not you underestimating me

It was doubting myself

[Bridge]

For everyone who's thought of ending it all

For everyone who's thought of ending it all

Know this one is for you

Everything is for you

Stand in my way, prepare to be defeated

Inner strength, fall and rise again

Stand in my way, prepare to be defeated

Inner strength, fall and rise again

[Outro]

Rise again!
