Given the chance to run in the race

The battle is on to win, show or place

Am I the one expected to be

Everything you want of me



My heart is fading in the time that it takes to blink

My confidence is slowly washing down the sink

Gotta move forward, leave that all behind



I do what I do, it's all I can do, you know?

I do what I do, it's all I can do

I do, I do, do you?



Eyes looking down critically, feeling their breath on me

Under the scope, they read every word

Defining what's good, what's absurd



Used to be that the world was intimidating

That was light years ago, just a passing fancy

Gotta move forward leave that all behind
