Am I content living with a selfishness
That tears away on the inside
I can't tell myself that it's alright
But I couldn't see
Delirium encompassed me
Let the skin shed from my mind to show all I can be

How could I see
A jaded life was the one I chose for me
I want to be
Setting standards of what is right for me
But how could I see
The past brings back everything that haunts me
I want to be
A better man than the one I used to be

The true colors show, the spectrum broke when the truth was told
"A waste of mind is a waste of time"
The snake in the grass hatched from my mind
I said I can give this up
I said I can give this up

How could I see
A jaded life was the one I chose for me
I want to be
Setting standards of what is right for me
How could I see
The past brings back everything that haunts me
I want to be
A better man than the one I used to be

Can I give this up?
Rise above

How could I see
A jaded life was the one I chose for me
I want to be
Setting standards of what I know is right for me
How could I see
The past brings back everything that haunts me
I want to be
A better man than the one I used to be

Rise above
