We have tried and failed
We have stumbled and fallen
We have tried a new taste
And we spit it back out
We have taken a left turn
When we meant to turn right
We lost sight of our origins
But our past never lost sight of us
Lost sight of us
It's not emulation - 'cause that's not this hard
Not imitation - 'cause that won't take you far
Not digression - 'cause i'm falling straight up
It is progression - i'm not afraid to stand up
I don't know what i expected
But i expected it to be great
I said "i'm trying my hardest"
But he didn't like the tape
Take a look at what you're doing
And tell me i'm too late
You say we're walking backwards
Well, that dead horse sure can run
It sure can run
The truth
I know i can
I know i will
I know - i know what i have to do
And now you'll listen
And i hope it won't hurt
I've seen your poison
You've done your worst
I've seen your better
And i can't believe it's true
You've lost the truth
That used to live inside of you
