Everytime I get up I just get down again Spending time I give up Just to be let down again Everytime I get up I just get down again Never ending these interrupting inner voices Shutting me down again This white blank page Stares me in the face Mumford mumbles in my head This flesh will go to waste Time flanks day But who cares if I keep the pace Turn my head, bite my ears No one even knows that I joined the race Only grazing, never hits Still I write in search of Babel Running in circles, these feet don't feel so stable This gravel in my shoe might one day be fatal But it still won't slow me down I know I will tell my tale Trained for weeks Dug so deep Painfully But I'm still too weak Looking up, all I see is the top of the hill But I don't know how I will ever make it up there Even if I spent my whole life climbing, grinding Seeing everybody that's already up above me I never even beat my ego Ergo, how will I ever be where my heart is telling me to go I can't say, so I guess I'll stay Right here writing just for me today Everytime I get up I just get down again Spending time I give up Just to be let down again Everytime I get up I just get down again Never ending these interrupting inner voices Shutting me down again When I was young, I didn't have a ton of friends I guess I prefer to be alone At home, on my own With a song stuck in my soul that I just can't seem to hold A constant quest to dig within But never really breaking ground A question queueing up again With lines of marks that won't back down Mindless scars left by this pen Doubting every single sound Brown notes thrown out leaving only grey Now those loud no's screaming over yay's Shut down gut sounds streaming down my face With tomes on tomes of penned self-hate Everytime I get up I just get down again Spending time I give up Just to be let down again Everytime I get up I just get down again Never ending these interrupting inner voices Shutting me down again Every time I get up It feels like so much effort Even when success is set up Apparently I'll just give up The friends that I've made Through the sounds I make Never ever seem to stay Much longer after the play Curtains close, so they go Never to be seen again Blocking sets, the act forgets The script of what was said Was I only there with ability Even though I'm doubting these Can I can't I stand for what I've worked so hard to be Everytime I get up I just get down again Spending time I give up Just to be let down again Everytime I get up I just get down again Never ending these interrupting inner voices Shutting me down again Everytime I get up It's a battle to the top I have to tell myself to shut up Otherwise I know I'll mess it up Crossing the bar and yelling at myself Tossing the star back on the shelf Coughing now from yelling Calming down to help myself Everytime I get up It's a battle to the top Stepping out and getting caught By everything telling me to stop Crossing lines and changing lanes Gritting my teeth through the pain Despite what my doubt will say I will make it there one day Everytime I get down I will get up again Everytime I get down I will get up again Everytime I get down I will get up again Everytime I get down I will get up again
