With reason I'm trying to stand but the effort seems useless   I'm caught up in cycles   You want the glory with none of the effort   You want the honor but take the back door   You know it's not useless   Your life is worth more than every breath you take   But at this rate we're going nowhere      But what you say and what you do   Oh, no, they're not the same   (My whole life is waiting for me to take control)   What you say and where you go   Please don't make the same mistake      With reasons I'm not going to give up   And my every word will be your fall   Fall down and hit the floor      But what you say and what you do   Oh, no, they're not the same   (My whole life is waiting for me to take control)   What you say and where you go   Please don't make the same mistake      Where your mind allows you to go your hands will follow   (My whole life is waiting for me to take control)   (I take this life and bear my soul, I won't let it, I won't let it)
