[Verse 1]
They ask me what's your motivation?
Money or fame
You ask me well they're one in the same
You'd understand if you knew
Of the places I came from
Nothing I could lose
Only s*** I could gain
Like what's the point of being alive
If u don't make a difference
Contemplating suicide
Heavy's the decision
But I'd rather keep living
even if I feel diminished
cause I'm the one that decides
when everything is finished
so when tough times roll in
and everything's against me
I promise Iam a give it all I got
until I'm empty
and when I see that all hope is dying
I won't stop I promise to keep trying
[Chorus]
But it's all just a show
A time for us and the words we'll never know
And daylight comes and fades with the tide
And I'm here to stay
[Verse 2]
Even if its late night
eyes wide open
trying to see the signs
searching for the meaning
behind a recurring dream of mine
everyday it gets colder
no summertime
i haven't seen the sun for months
does it even shine?
A woman in the distance, when I reach her
she starts to speak to me never using one word
she says don't worry things will go as they should
and her stare told me more than any set of words could
she said your competition is weak so never mind them
u were far ahead even when u fell behind them
its all about timing
be glad its on your side
and the sun on that day it arrives, just let it shine in
I nod to her
but what's the meaning of it
i don't know but I always get this feeling from it
reach the top
will I be one of the few that does it
or will I live my whole life
just dreaming of it
I don't know
[Chorus]
but listen I'll keep trying
said I promise to keep trying
will I win and beat failure
or begin to meet failure
I don't know I'll keep trying
said I promise to keep trying
when tough times roll in
and everything's against me
I promise Iam a give it all I got
until I'm empty
said I promise to keep trying
yeah I promise to keep trying
till I'm gone
They ask me what's your motivation?
Money or fame
You ask me well they're one in the same
You'd understand if you knew
Of the places I came from
Nothing I could lose
Only s*** I could gain
Like what's the point of being alive
If u don't make a difference
Contemplating suicide

even if I feel diminished
cause I'm the one that decides
