Lyrics

Vs. 1: I can't take this job no more With glass ceilings and no doors. I lie awake at night can't sleep. All I do is sit and weep. I don't know what's killing me This city or this dull monotony. I am trapped against a wall. The more I try, the harder I fall. Chorus: Wish each step forward, I'm blown ten steps back. I feel I'm slipping through the cracks. I can't get past these working class dreams. Frustration's got the best of me. I'm going over and underneath can't hide my vulnerability. I wear my heart upon my sleeve. Welcome to my reality. Vs. 2: Depression fits me like a glove. I can't feel hope. I can't feel love. Struggling to break through this maze. Only to find wild dogs in wait. Keep moving forward. Stay sharp as a tack. When the fastest way to the top is flat on your back. Don't hold no regrets. Stay true to your aim In your rise to power, fortune, and fame. Vs. 3: I always thought that I'd succeed That I'd have all the things that I need and I want And I prayed that I'd get it. My family and friends said, "Give up! Just forget it." They don't understand how I feel inside. Music's the reason that I'm still alive, And I'll keep playing my songs until I grow old. I don't do it for the money. I do it for my soul.
