Close your eyes, get a grip
You feel yourself start to slip
Losing ground before you even found your feet
The chance is knocking at your door
But you're still lying on the floor
It's time to stand up and fight for something more

You've set yourself up for failure
So don't be surprised when you fall down
If you don't have something to reach for
Then tell me, tell me what's the point of it all

Burning through time wasting your life
Falling short of the things that you admire
With all your hopes just out of touch
But the cost of those thoughts just seems too much

It's all in your hands
You just have to pull yourself up
Past the doubt that holds you down
You're struggling to make a sound
Keeping your time bottled
As if you have some control
With your life mapped out afraid of the unknown

You've set yourself up for failure
So don't be surprised when you fall down
If you don't have something to reach for
Then tell me, tell me what's the point of it all

They say for each step forward
You take three steps back
What's the point of progress with two feet in the past
With yourself this deep
There's only four left to go
To find your future still buried below

You've set yourself up for failure
So don't be surprised when you fall down
If you don't have something to reach for
Then tell me, tell me what's the point of it all
