To feel like you re a failure
When everything that s real
Burns the flame in anger
I ve heard it all before
I ve felt some pain and more
More than you could ever dream
More than it probably seems
I ve sat with head in hand
Stressed by my demands
Stomach tied in knots
Alone I ve sat and rot
Cause the pain from all these fears
Has built up all these years
I ll wipe away the tears
Wipe away the tears
Don t give in
Don t give up
Walk the streets dejected
Alone and left rejected
Time does not care
And sometimes life ain t fair
My head begins to pound
Smashing bottles on the ground
I have lived amongst the garbage
With those who rape and carnage
Had many a promise broken
And broken some myself
The promise I have kept alive
Is keep my inner wealth
With my heart aimed at the world
Destiny I watch unfurl
I ll wipe away the tears
Wipe away the tears
Don t give in
Don t give up
Opportunities
Wasting life away
Choked upon its dust
Puked out in disgust
Let me tell you how it feels
To feel like you re a failure
Been climbing out this gutter
For what seems like it s forever
But one thing I must make clear
The struggle of these years
Has made every scar the stronger
My lust for life the longer
I will fight for what I love
And I will fight for those I care
I will fight at anytime
And I will fight anywhere
With my heart aimed at this world
Destiny I watch unfurl
I ll wipe away the tears
Wipe away the tears
Don t give in
Don t give up
