Up the Chain
You're insignificant
You're not even on my radar
I don't have the time to waste on
Someone who can't help me travel on up the chain
You may call it arrogance
But I'm a practical person
I'm a winner by design
And it seems my only crime is succeeding
You're just a parasite
Riding on my coat tails
You're just a liability
Stay out of my way
Your empathy
Is a disease
It's made you weak
Be more like me
Let's remove the safety net
It's only purpose to hinder
How will you ever learn to
Stand up on your own
If we tether you to the ground
I'm here to dominate
And I will crush you like an insect
If you can't assimilate
Then I think you found your place
Your empathy
Is a disease
It's made you weak
Be more like me
I've given all and I've clambered so high
And now, you've the audacity to try to take what's mine?
This was never meant to imply
That I don't think you fully deserve the bed in which you lie
I may have gone too far
You never posed any danger
You need someone to idolise
Belief that you will find
The drive to move on up the ladder
If you can't assimilate
Then it's time to learn your place
Your empathy
Is a disease
It's made you weak
Be more like me
I've given all and I've clambered so high
And now, you've the audacity to try to take what's mine?
This was never meant to imply
That I don't think you fully deserve the bed in which you lie
You're not even on my radar
I don't have the time to waste on
Someone who can't help me travel on up the chain
You may call it arrogance
But I'm a practical person
I'm a winner by design
And it seems my only crime is succeeding
You're just a parasite
Riding on my coat tails
You're just a liability
Stay out of my way
Your empathy
Is a disease
It's made you weak
Be more like me
Let's remove the safety net
It's only purpose to hinder
How will you ever learn to
Stand up on your own
If we tether you to the ground
I'm here to dominate
And I will crush you like an insect
If you can't assimilate
Then I think you found your place
Your empathy
Is a disease
It's made you weak
Be more like me
I've given all and I've clambered so high
And now, you've the audacity to try to take what's mine?
This was never meant to imply
That I don't think you fully deserve the bed in which you lie
I may have gone too far
You never posed any danger
You need someone to idolise
Belief that you will find
The drive to move on up the ladder
If you can't assimilate
Then it's time to learn your place
Your empathy
Is a disease
It's made you weak
Be more like me
I've given all and I've clambered so high
And now, you've the audacity to try to take what's mine?
This was never meant to imply
That I don't think you fully deserve the bed in which you lie
