I could have done nothing under the sun
To change the way things are
Luck may have brought me here
Still I didn't get far
Sometimes I feel like I've lost faith in myself
Always pushing aside from everyone else
Choking on every fucking word I say
Dragging it down the line
Just to throw it away
Is it a test of time
Or am I testing my will
I'm at a loss of all hope
That I've tried to instill
I'm just looking to find
Another way to survive
But I can't focus
With all this weight on my mind
If I can't force a change
I'll have myself to blame
For everything that I could never say
It's just a struggle to find
A way out of this life
One that makes you a slave
To your mind
But there's an open road
One I must walk alone
This price I'll have to pay it
On my own
Always breaking at the sound of my voice
But from the way it seems
I've never had a choice
Because the way I was left
brought me
To where I was found
And when the pressure is on
I'll keep my face from the ground
How can I help you
When I'm waging a war within myself
I have to find a way
To do what's best for me
And face the world
From which I stand underneath
If I can't force a change
I'll have myself to blame
For every reason that I could never stay
This is the breaking point that will define your life
