I know I’m not making much progress I’ve got sutures that can’t seem to heal I called up to see my potential But it wants to see other people I’m trapped between panic and apathy Between the person I am and the person I‘m “meant” to be My thread rends to split ends They trail with inks and medicine I’ve scraped up, and I’ve spent Too much to braid and bind them ‘Cause they’ll define Me by how well I’ve traced their lines But why do I Have to drown myself to “save” my life Adding pressure to see if I’ll bend or I’ll break They dock points when I’m trying To give back as much as I take Accept it, I’m not meant For glory, fame or fortune Am I doomed, or destined For this routine rejection ‘Cause they’ll define Me by how well I’ve traced their lines I’ll stray outside And draft blueprints for a new design Just because I’ve derailed It doesn’t mean that I’ve failed I can still rewrite this story I can still rewrite this We’re burdened by wars between risk and reward And we’ve been dealt lousy hands But we’re doing the best we can Don’t be so afraid to Take in the views on scenic routes They don’t know your value So “don’t buy what they sell you” Yeah, they’ll define Us by how well we’ve traced their lines But keep in mind We’ll leave a better place behind You can still rewrite your story You can still rewrite this
