Pushing yourself; testing the limits
Seeking the door to fit the key
But no one makes you live this way
No one takes the blame
Pressure extreme; smashing the boundaries
Flooding the spaces in your mind
But can you turn the tide away
Can you take the pain
Setting your goals higher and higher
Standing tall in other’s eyes
But never can you deviate
It’s the price you pay
Suffering through day after day
Never reaching your destination
Ambition has made you a slave
It’s driving you insane
The walls you built within
Are crumbling away
Do you have the strength
To face another day
The world around you closing in
Madness coming on
Day by day is rushing past
Sanity is gone
See the hell that you’ve been through
Take a look around
Pride always outlasts the pain
You’ve got to stand your ground
Carry on
Feeling betrayed; claiming unfairness
A heart full of sorrow and regret
Will you turn your grief to rage
Can you make the change
A question of trust; finding a balance
Gaining an inner symmetry
Satisfied with what you’ve gained
Learning self-acclaim
The walls you built within
Are crumbling away
Do you have the strength
To face another day
The world around you closing in
Madness coming on
Day by day is rushing past
Sanity is gone
See the hell that you’ve been through
Take a look around
Pride always outlasts the pain
You’ve got to stand your ground
Carry on
The world around you closing in
Madness coming on
Day by day is rushing past
Sanity is gone
See the hell that you’ve been through
Take a look around
Pride always outlasts the pain
You’ve got to stand your ground
Carry on
