Rat Race - Blessing a Curse

Is this an oasis

Or just a mirage

‘Cause I think I hate this

We’ve been here too long

It’s always been this way

We’ve gotta work ten times harder than everybody

I’m starting to think that it’s almost funny but it still hurts

Now to make matters worse

Motherfuckers wanna try and coerce

Me into believing this is all we’re worth

I’ve never been the kind of guy

To expect a free ride

But for Christ’s sake

Can something fucking go our way?

I knew this wouldn’t be easy and I get it

I’m just saying that I’m fed up with the way

The system’s set up and i’m

Running in a rat race

Where I can’t see the finish line

‘Cause I’m always in a bad place

Causing me to fall behind the ones to whom

I compare myself

I know it’s no good for my mental health but

It’s okay it’s okay

It’s all part of the process

That the light is burning out inside of me

It’s okay it’s okay

‘Cause we’re all out of options

So cover your eyes and just pretend

That burning the candle at both ends equals progress

Quit avoiding me

Stop changing the subject

And take your hand off the door

We’re not done yet

When did you stop fighting for us

When did you stop fighting for us

When did your heart turn to rust

When did your heart turn to rust

They told me «fake it til you make it»

So I did just that

And when I thought I had it all figured out

I fell flat on my face

It can only go up from here

Or at least that’s what I tell myself

It’s okay it’s okay

It’s all part of the process

That the light is burning out inside of me

It’s okay it’s okay

‘Cause we’re all out of options

So cover your eyes and just pretend that

Burning the candle at both ends equals progress

My eyes are not adjusted to the light

My ears are not adjusted to the sound

I feel like I can’t do anything right

And I will never understand this life

Here’s to struggling

Internally

Here’s to struggling

For eternity

Here’s to struggling

Internally

Here’s to struggling

For eternity

For the rest of our lives

I can’t do anything right
