Late last night or was it morning Outside the rain was pouring I stumbled out I hit the ground It's a hell of a scene but there's no story Designed in all it's glory To set you up and knock you down Just a reflection on my bitterness Why plant the seed and not do the rest? Just a distraction from the meaningless I'd rather bleed than settle for less ♪ Was told at the time to just keep going You'll fly but don't stop rowing Reached for the moon and hit the ground Is this a chip upon my shoulder? As heavy as a boulder? When all the world owes you a crown Just a reflection on my emptiness You don't succeed by chasing success No reputation is worth all this mess I'd rather bleed than settle for less ♪ Just a reflection on my happiness Only compete with yourself at your best A separation from the self I possess Just let it be and settle for less
