People cry on your shoulder
You don't know why you grow colder
All you know is that you used to be like them
Another thought haunting my mind
Is (that) I was once my own mountain
But now it seems all I'm searching for is me
And I guess you could call it progress
That I am laying at your feet
It seems like everytime I fight back
I can't get further than to your knees
And then you think this is as low as
A man can possibly have sunk
But know they're diggin' me a hole now
While I stand starin' back at you
I hereby quit
Renounce what I am and ever was
Cuz' I see no point in patching up
A ship that clearly has no sails
Giving in, 'cause this is just a dream
Regardless of what I'm burning down this maze
And I guess you could call it progress
That I am laying at your feet
It seems like everytime I fight back
I can't get further than to your knees
And then you think this is as low as
A man can possibly have sunk
But know they're diggin' me a hole now
While I stand starin' back at you
Tell me is this progress?
