Obstacles

So tie the rope and pull it tight
So throw the weight into the night
Throw the weight into the night

Some days I feel like I've got way too much to say
So many thoughts in my head without the eloquence to convey
A picture painted with washed out color
I excel at judging my own book by its cover

This is what drives me on
This is what breaks me down
In all the failure in between I find joy too small to be seen

Should I allow myself to revel in the obstacles I faced
Silencing whispers in the back of my mind
Telling me there's more time to waste
There's no time to waste
So tie the rope and pull it tight
Throw the weight into the night
Throw the weight into the night

Cause I am running on pure self hatred, low self esteem
I can't help it I feel the walls are closing in
Will I stand still while I'm admiring the view?
Can I become that person if I just pull through?

Should I allow myself to revel in the obstacles I faced
I'm silencing the whispers in the back of my mind
Telling me there's more time to waste
So tie the rope and pull it tight
Throw the weight into the night

Hold your head up and fight the urge to let go
There's something hiding in the struggle you know
When there's no difference between suffering and pleasure
Remember diamonds are created under pressure

Should I allow myself to revel in the obstacles I faced
The obstacles I faced
Silencing whispers in the back of my mind
Telling me there's more time to waste
But there's no more time left to waste

Hold your head up and fight the urge to let go
There's something hiding in the struggle you know
When there's no difference between suffering and pleasure
Remember diamonds are created under pressure

Tie the rope
Pull it tight
Throw the weight
Into the night
Into the night
