I´m giving up all expectations
That I will live a meaningful life
I once was filled with inspiration
That lion heart has lost his pride

I am not the person that I thought that I would be

I keep tripping over the same steps
The stars aren´t beautiful
Advice is never useful
And I still walk the line held tight with my regrets
I´d rather die than live like this
I´ve gotta give up giving in

"Some people never will go crazy,
What horrible lives they must lead."
I´m going to try and paint new scenery
And build a window to help me see

I am not the person that I thought that I would be

I keep tripping over the same steps
The stars aren´t beautiful
Advice is never useful
And I still walk the line held tight with my regrets
I´d rather die than live like this
I´ve gotta give up giving in
I have got my eyelids stapled shut

I have failed but I´m used to it
The past is just that
It´s a sunken old ship
There will be moments
I pretend
That I can raise it up
Up back from the depths

Who the fuck am I kidding?
I was born with the curse of always giving in
Every day is another chance
To make peace with myself
But I would rather play dead

Sure it looks easy when it´s through borrowed eyes
"The hero has a thousand faces", none of them matching mine
Fuck the world, fuck the stars, fuck the person you are
None of this will matter if I don´t give up folding my cards

I keep tripping over the same steps
The stars aren´t beautiful
Advice is never useful
And I still walk the line held tight with my regrets
I´d rather die than live like this
I´ve gotta give up giving in
I have got my eyelids stapled shut
