Sisyphus

Test of my patience, I woke with my heart racing
I thought I reached the end of it (I thought I reached the end of it)
Start up the game, know I usually never hesitate
Grinding my gears to meet the steepest of faces

The man I've become, a broken army of one
An enemy to the sun and a weight that restrains me
So brittle and thin, my will's a plate on a stick
Before I spin to the ground

If you think you got light in your bones
Steel in your soul
Next thing you know
You're tumbling, tumbling down
If you should know
Which way to go
Keep on the road you're tumbling, tumbling down

I heard a man say, "you've got to keep your mind straight
And focus on the top of it" (focus on the top of it)
That went straight to my marrow, been sharpened as an arrow
I never thought I'd be the broken and bent one

Lay low on a shelf, you must be kidding yourself
Too long inside of a shell, you've been sat doing nothing
I won't save the day, but I'd still run for the flames
Before I spin to the ground

If you think you got light in your bones
Steel in your soul
Next thing you know
You're tumbling, tumbling down
If you should know
Which way to go
Keep on the road you're tumbling, tumbling down

Stretch my hands and close my eyes
I'm just not the quitting kind
Keep me straining towards the light
Towards the light, keep towards the light
Stretch my hands and close my eyes
I'm just not the quitting kind
Keep me straining towards the light
Towards the light, keep towards the light

If you think you got light in your bones
Steel in your soul
Next thing you know
You're tumbling, tumbling down
If you should know
Which way to go
Keep on the road you're tumbling, tumbling down

Stretch my hands and close my eyes
I'm just not the quitting kind
Keep me straining towards the light
Towards the light, keep towards the light
Stretch my hands and close my eyes
I'm just not the quitting kind
Keep me straining towards the light
Towards the light, keep towards the light
