[Verse 1]
My head's close to exploding
I keep praying for a sound to save me here
Greed is louder than givin’
I can't understand how to cope with the feel
Of all the good that is dying
From all the takers and fools
All I know is "I'm trying"
But all that’s stopping me, all that's stopping me
Is you

[Pre-Chorus]
That keep takin' away, takin' away
It's you
Holding me back, holding me back
It's you, it's you

[Chorus]
Everybody knows your ways
Everybody hopes you waste away
Everybody knows your days are numbered
You fall on your politics

[Verse 2]
Now my life runs on a treadmill
I see the future, will I ever make it there?
Feel the breeze like a windmill
When people pass me, all I do is sit and stare
It's like it’s dangled in front of me
I’m jumping like a bear
I try to grab it but it dodges me
And I'm never laying on the ground to submit
It’s you
