There is room for complication
There's an air of expectation for life
There's a need for education
There is faith and contradiction in life
I am proud but so frustrated
I am overcomplicated in life
I am loud but understated
And I feel we're overrated in life
And it was only my pride
And I was lonely inside
And I know how low you choose to go
Or how it shows you don't grow
No, you're slow to learn
There were years when I was loaded
There were tears when I imploded inside
You were part of every pleasure
I am told your golden treasure is pride
I refrain from taking conviction
I take the blame for all the suspicion and lies
I have changed my explanation
I am ruled by superstition all my life
And it was only my pride
And I was lonely inside
And I know how low you choose to go
Or how it shows you don't grow
No, you're slow to learn
