Lift Me Up
An' I can feel it now!
It's more obvious than ever
There's a problem!
An' I better try to figure out
If I'm willing solve 'em
Or ignore 'em like a middle child!
Seems like its been awhile
Since I had an answer
To one of life's riddles
An' riddled out!
An' now I'm stuck
In this mental house
And these four walls
Are driving me crazy!
An' I'm begging 'em all!
To take a different route!
Somebody save me!
All I see is madness on the daily!
It's gettin' out of hand
Like droppin a baby!
All the pills I keep slappin away
When they try to medicate me
I'm a danger to my safety!
And my anger's got me
Strapped in a jacket, at most times, and lately!
I react to the fact
That it's all here to change me
With a middle finger
Right to the face
An' stay the same, me!
Lift me up!
In life the pressure so heavy
That I feel I've fallen to the wayside
If only I can get away from everything!
Spread my wings and then fly!
Lift me up!
I know I wasn't born, to deserve
To become a failure and die
If only I can get away from everything
Spread my wings an' then fly!
Lift me up!
Our life is unclear!
Shed a heavenly tear
For, Father, we still
Toughin' it out down here
In the midst of mankind
Where money's so tight they
Cuttin' throats for pennies,
Nickels, and dimes
Hard to walk a straight line
When the road curves like a snake
And most leaders are
Cowards, liars, and fakes
Who I shall not follow
In fear I pose the question
Your response, "Stay strong, son, and pick a direction"
I'm not sure if I possess the
Confidence to carry on
We'll all be here today
An' tomorrow we'll be gone
It's an example of scenarios
Use your time to leave a mark
Stronger than a miracle felt in a soul
To a believer
You don't have to say it twice!
To a skeptic
I'm sure no proof will ever suffice
To a sinner
It was over before it ever began
To the lost and lonely
Sometimes they only need a friend
Lift me up!
In life, the pressure
So heavy, that I feel I've fallen to the wayside!
If only I can get away from everything!
Spread my wings and then fly!
Lift me up!
I know I wasn't born to deserve
To become a failure and die
If only I can get away from everything
Spread my wings and then fly
Lift me up!
You cant stop greatness!
It has a way of shining through
Any gimmic or fake shit!
My aspirations to make it
Don't make it easy for somebody
Trying to do it for real!
Better believe me!
Fly with me!
Flap your wings slow!
Feel the ground beneath
Your feet begin to go!
Away from me I'm
Excited with energy!
A vision of clarity!
Rise above the storm for solidarity!
And your popularity
Is a drop in the Bering Sea
And apparently your
Nothing but average
I'm a dangerous package
Trap you all in my daydream
I'm laughing like a jackel
As I spread my wings
An' elevate free
I know you hate me!
But in the grand scheme
Deep in your heart you wanna thank me!
'Cause were the same, we
All lookin' for escape from
Pretty much the same things!
Lift me up!
In life the pressure so heavy
That I feel I've fallen to the wayside
If only I can get away from everything!
Spread my wings an' then fly!
Lift me up!
I know I wasn't born to
Deserve to become a failure and die!
If only I can get away from everything!
Spread my wings an' then fly!
Lift me up!
It's more obvious than ever
There's a problem!
An' I better try to figure out
If I'm willing solve 'em
Or ignore 'em like a middle child!
Seems like its been awhile
Since I had an answer
To one of life's riddles
