I thought by now that I could do this
Though your guidance I would miss
An island I have become,singing “Desolation Row”

I run this race I cannot win,determination soaks my skin
Is it time to fold?
Or,play a faulty hand?

I FEEL CHEATED THOUGH I’M BLESSED
I’M SEPERATED FROM THE REST
I WEAR DEFEAT LIKE A POMPOUS CREST
WITH NO TASK COMPLETED

I fell down
I fell down
I fell down
I’m upside down

I fell down
I’m upside down
I fell down
But I’m not out

When you set sail I was quick to sink
To the bottom with everything
Everything you left me clinging tightly to

Then above I saw the sun
I began to rise I am not done
I surfaced with the treasure for which you would not run

I FEEL CHEATED THOUGH I’M BLESSED
I’M SEPERATED FROM THE REST
I WEAR DEFEAT LIKE A POMPOUS CREST
WITH NO TASK COMPLETED
I AM DIZZY THOUGH I’M STILL,MOTIVATED WITHOUT THE WILL
I AM DIFFICULT
AND I HAVE BEEN DEFEATED

I may be down but I aint out
I look for release without a doubt
I myself will be all in with a second wind

I fought exhaustion from excess
I fought my ego and failed the test
I fought like the man they said that I would never be
