We talked about making it, I'm sorry that you never made it And it pains me just to hear you have to say it You knew the game and played it, it kills to know that you have been defeated I see the wires pulling while you're breathing You knew you had a reason, it killed you like diseases I can hear it in your voice while you're speaking, you can't be treated Mr. Know-It-All, had his reign and his fall At least that is what his brain is telling all If he said, help me kill the president I'd say, he needs medicine Sick of screaming let us in, the wires got the best of him All that he invested in, goes straight to hell, straight to hell (oh, oh) Straight to hell, straight to hell (oh, oh) He told me I should take it in, listen to every word he's speaking The wires getting older, I can hear the way they're creaking As they're holding him, well, I could see it in his jaw that all he ever wanted was a job He tells me to be raw, admits to every little flaw That never let him sit upon the top Won't tell me to stop, thinks that I should be a little cautious Well, I can tell the wires pulled If he said, help me kill the president I'd say, he needs medicine Sick of screaming let us in, the wires got the best of him All that he invested in, goes straight to hell, straight to hell (oh, oh) Straight to hell, straight to hell (oh, oh) I'm having trouble in believing and I just started seeing Light at the beginning of the tunnel, but he tells me that I'm dreaming When he talks I hear his ghosts, every word they say to me I just pray the wires aren't coming If he said, help me kill the president I'd say, he needs medicine Sick of screaming let us in, the wires got the best of him All that he invested in, goes straight to hell, straight to hell (oh, oh) Straight to hell, straight to hell (oh, oh) Straight to hell, straight to hell (oh, oh) Straight to hell, straight to hell (oh, oh)

Maybe I've done enough And your golden child grew up Maybe this trophy isn't real love And with or without it, I'm good enough Maybe I've done enough Finally catching up For the first time I see an image of my brokenness Utterly worthy of love Maybe I've done enough And I finally see myself Through the eyes of no one else It's so exhausting on this silver screen Where I play the role of anyone but me And I finally see myself Unabridged and overwhelmed A mess of a story I'm ashamed to tell But I'm slowly learning how to break this spell And I finally see myself Now I only want what's real To let my heart feel what it feels Gold, silver or bronze hold no value here Where work and rest are equally revered I only want what's real I set aside the highlight reel And leave my greatest failures on display with an asterisk Worthy of love anyway
