Please let me see the false that my ego denies me

Don't let me grow so tall that I forget the ground beneath me

Don't let me forget that satisfaction has no friends

That glory's only fading, already gone



I've wasted so much time

I've wasted so much time

I'm trying to get it straight

I'm trying to get it straight

I'm trying to keep it straight in my mind



Don't let me think it's love, when it's only just obsession

I've spent so many nights punching that wall

Show me the difference between decision and denial

I want to know why I ask why



I'm trying to get it straight

I'm trying to get it straight

I'm trying to get it straight in my mind

I'm trying to keep myself in check

I'm trying to keep myself in check

So tired of regret



Let me see my confusion for exactly what it is

Don't let me make my rage a tool of regret

Allow me to sidestep my frustration and hostility

And the violence that comes to me so easily

Too easily



I've wasted so much time

I've wasted so much time



I'm trying to get it straight

I'm trying to get it straight

I'm trying to get it straight in my mind

I'm trying to keep myself together

Struggling, struggling, struggling

Winning and losing, yeah!
