lyrics

step at a time
pushing the lines
they never seem to give in
they're changing their bets to help you out
at ease with themselves

your shit-eating grin
a flame in the wind
at the grace of these giants
this scoreboard will never even out

because you took it
upon you
to call the shots
and make a mark
you're being crushed
under the weight of worlds

I'm sick of watching this
pretentious charade
I'm sick of watching this
getting the best of you
It's time for you to face the truth
There's no grandeur in anything you do

You're levitating from the ground
and I can't deny that
this special savior's eminence
seems callous

And all the while they're reaching out
when they could go on without you while
you're choking on your pride

'Cause you took it
upon you
to cure us all
from medicine
and mark our place
below the greater good

I'm sick of watching this
pretentious charade
I'm sick of watching this
getting the best of you
It's time for you to face the truth
There's no grandeur in anything you do
